And You Think I'm Happy

by Jackie Marie   May 18, 2006


I sit here and cry,
Eyes blood shot red,
And you think I'm happy?

I sit alone
Not able to talk to anyone
And you think I'm happy?

Secrets still untold
You see it in my eyes
And you think I'm happy?

I cry myself to sleep
Huge black lines under my eyes
And you think I'm happy?

I just lost my mom
She died in a car crash
And you think I'm happy?

I am now living with my Dad
He yells and hits me for no reason
And you think I'm happy?

Look at all the signs
Is it that hard to tell
That I am far from happy?

    I liked the way you repeated the title over again in every line, though I must say, it was a little too much for my liking.

    "Secrets are untold | You see it in my eyes | And you think I'm happy?" is my favorite stanza. Not many people use the word "untold", and I like the way you used it here.

    This is just so sad. I like the way your stanzas are phrased to 'speak out' it's like you are talking to someone.

    I just lost my mom
    She died in a car crash
    And you think I'm happy?

    these lines really stood out as I didn't really know where the poem was going.
    I loved the final stanza too. The whole thing is so heartfelt and angry I don't know what else to say.

    Very nice job... You captured such an emotion that most can't. Excellent job.
