To Be Happy Poem by Julia Pascual

I think I should just let it go
I think that's the best for me
To go back is a big no no
There's nothing left for me...

I think I should just stop
There's nothing else to do
I know I can never be on top
There's no point to continue...

I think it's not worth the fight
If the other side gives no care
Though I've tried with all my might
This pain is just something I can't bear...

I've suffered enough
I'm torn into pieces
I'm tired of acting tough
Tired of making excuses...

Pretending is all I've been doing
To convince myself of these lies
But you'll get to see my true feelings
Once you look deeper into my eyes...

Fate is never on my side
It keeps holding me down
To oppose it I have tried
But it always takes the crown...

I'm not that stupid
I know when to quit
I'm done being placid
I know when to accept defeat...

I have to take off this disguise
Unmask the girl who's been acting fine
It's now time for me to cut our ties
Let go of things that aren't mine...

I know it will not be easy
But I have to set my heart free
It's time for nobody else but me
I think it's time for me to be happy...
