Static Emotion Poem by Tiffany Rose Moczydlowski

Today should have been the best day
Got a one hundred on an exam
Which was to lose myself in song
Shared laughter with friends
Saw my siblings who I'm never around
Came out to my mother
And she was happy
Comforted a friend
Made her so joyful she cried
So why do I feel
So empty inside?
I caused such joy
But I feel that
I burden so many
They want to know my problems
They want to ease my pains
But when I finally divulge them
All I can do is see their faces
I can't rely on others
I can't make them worry
I live to cause happiness
Not to suck it away
So why can't I let myself
Just accept mine?
Why couldn't today have been
My favorite day?
