Are You Happy

 “Are you happy?”

What kind of a question is that
With cheeks stinging
Pain in my heart
How can that be asked

The demons laugh
As they play and torment
Tickling the pain buried so deep
Teasing the unkind words in my head
“Are you happy?”

My demons laugh
As more words sting
The light disappears
My heart aches
The screams of my soul

“Are you happy?”

You suck the happiness out of me
Til I am left cold and hard
You fly over me laughing
For you know
The battle has begun

Can You Hear Me

  The tall dark shadows loom above Looking up to find that peace Lost in the world Standing alone Calling out “can anyone hear me” No reply ...
