Optimistic

It still hurts though it's all I've ever felt
And I wish it would go away.
Leave me here to find a lucky star
To make it all Okay.

I don't understand why pain lingers on
I just want to feel content.
I grasp the time of neither truth or lie
But soon it was spent.

I'm sure all the bad things happen to me
It feels like the weight of the world.
Screaming inside doesn't cure this block
Mine has gone unheard.

But surely if I prove to myself and them
Things are bound to be good.
It'll turn around and I'll feel alive
Like I always should.

If I smile enough it may wear off
My sun will come out from behind cloud.
Prayers will be answered, not needed
I could never think them aloud.

Sometimes I find a reason to laugh out
And feel truly who I am.
If I hold on to this, things will brighten
And go according to plan.

If I could find a reason to be miserable
And make depression the plain.
Maybe, just maybe I could find the reason
To feel happy again.
