What would it take to make me happy?
I wonder as I lay down and cry.
Since becoming a teenager I've never been happy.
Not really, and I just wonder why.
I've been in love, I've moved away.
I've been back home, but not to stay.
Why can't I feel as I did as a child?
So happy, so care-free, so wild.
It just gets worse, day by day.
So I daydream, and in those dreams I wish to stay.
I wonder what It will take to get me back
to being happy, with my life on track.
I've never know this emotional pain.
I just want to hide, and let the sky drown me with its rain.
This isn't the first time I've felt this way.
And it won't be the last,
Depression's here to stay.
Mom mom doesn't like my attitude,
She says I just don't care, that I'm so rude.
I wish it wasn't like this,
All I've ever wanted to be
Is the daughter that she's wanted,
The one I used to be.

Another great work! I enjoy your poems, they show a lot of feelings that I've felt, (albiet from the male side) and can relate with. Hope to see more!

Wow, I must say, you captured the feeling quite well. I have felt the same, many times in my turbulent teenage life. Great job! I really felt it.
