I Am Not Happy. Poem by Oualid Alamghouz

I am not happy.

I know nothing about happiness
I am in a long difficult condition
I woke up in the morning.
I think about my life.
I know nothing about happiness.
My future.
My family.
A lot of things in this head
Please tell me I'll be OK.
I did and still do a lot in my life,
Sometimes terrible things happen.
Why do these things happen?
This life is terrible.
I hate life.
There is death so there is nothing.
I want to sleep forever but only two things says no.
My English and my family.
Please tell me I'll be Ok because these days I know nothing about what you call happiness.
