Happy (Rictametre)

by Jenni Marie   Mar 2, 2007


Happy
A state not yet
Achieved for this young girl
Constantly trying her hardest
To overcome her misery and pain
A fake smile on her pretty face
Wishing for so much more
One day she'll be
Happy.

    Maybe she will. Perhaps that will be a good thing, perhaps it will alter who she is. Great write. Loved it.
