Happiness

My personal struggle

By Eric SykesPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Something in life that is rare for me.

People suggest that I should always be.

Every day is full of struggle and strife.

Has definitely made for a challenging life.

Possible with smoke and a bit of drink.

The purpose to alter how I think.

However fake and damaging.

It at least dumbs me to the feeling.

The next morning it begins again.

Jim Carey says, 'It changes with the wind.'

Song says it involves a warm gun.

But by no means will this happen.

Lonely nights that turn into days.

I just have to tell myself, 'It will be ok.'
