Happiness Can Kill
By: Taylor Donnelly
star crossed and love lock
this comes as no shock
i'm gasping for air
your pulling at my hair
this topic i wish to beware
crawling, crawling to the surface
i don't feel less
surrounded in your happiness
curled up with awkward kisses
i cant tell what this is
I'm stretching for answers
to the words i never said
stuck in your head
filling you up with dread
my mouth is full with the words you put there
just know i care
i'm not ready i thought i was
my judgment strained with the tingle and the buzz
i know i said i wanted to
but what can i do
i'm scared
i'm shaking in my boots
grounded but afraid to put down roots
i'm afraid of you
cuz i want to
but i don't know what i'm suppose to do
so tell me
just tell me who i'm suppose to be
am i the rebel or the angel, the good kid or the bad
am i the martyr, the victim, the happy or the sad
am i running or stuck still
all i know is that happiness can kill
