behind my sad eyes
sits a potential happyness
it's waiting to be released
the lock holds tight
i franticly search for the key
it stays unseen in the darkness
i can't find a light
so the key is lost in the blackness
the hole in my head grows
i fear all noise, movement, and light
it's like an inescapable chaos
hutled in the dark i sit
my body trembles
no happyness is seen or felt
so i sit cowering
in a corner of darkness
holding my head
just trying to remember
the almost happyness
that once sat in my head
but that is now completely gone
no key, and no more potential
i feel nothing now
and nothing means anything
my body is bruised
and my soul carries so much weight
it's nearly unbearible
but i go on pretending i'm ok
no one knows
they never will, they can't
all my potential is gone
it's all gone
but in a way still here
lurking in the unseen shadows
going unseen and unfelt by me
it's no longer potential
just a distant memory
like a dream
