Sitting here alone,
thoughts wandering into my mind,
I want to scream,
I want to cry.
I feel so empty inside,
like something in me died.
I can't feel,
I can't heal.
I never ask for much,
what I need remains unspoken.
Happiness is a far off dream,
and I don't have the energy to reach it.
I shy away from my responsibilities,
not strong enough to accomplish necessities.
My heart continues on,
as I fall long behind its youthful stride.

Screaming and crying are good ways to get started on the path back to happiness, I'd say. Good luck!

Be ready to make a change.
Stand up and walk away.
Forget today.
Get ready for tomorrow.

I'm quite sure you are much stronger than you think you are but a heartfelt poem that I'm sure many of us can relate to.
