Tears

Why are these eyes wet?

Why do these tears roll?

I try to stare away to the ends

Yet the tears keep rolling down.

In pursuit of happiness I wander

Across the seas and on top of the hills

Could have been in the moon if I could

Would have dashed into the stars if need be

Why do you run away from me?

Oh happiness, I seek of you every moment

Yet as a sore loser you walk away

Leaving a sulking me all alone.

Has destiny written this for me?

Thou shall not find it ever

Yet I seek, yet I search

That illusive happiness, day and night

Despondent I become day by day

Frustrated I am every single moment

Yet I keep looking out

you never know - destiny could be kind.

As I stare at myself every night

The mirror cracks and asks me questions

Isn't it time to accept it once and for all

The fact that happiness hated me all along

I sign in despair, hope is running out

Am I not to be happy ever?

My eyes well up in a moment

And the questions keep coming back

Why are these eyes wet?

Why do these tears roll?

I think I know why it does

Yet the tears keep rolling all along...
