Don't tell Them to be Happy by Eri

Life isn't always all happy

For many it's dark

A place they don't want to be

Someplace where they can't

They can't be themselves

They are forced

Forced into the life of death

Constantly thinking about death

While sitting there looking happy

Looking content

Forcing a happy life

A reason to be happy

But for many there is none

They are nothing

They feel nothing

They become nothing

You never know what's going on

In a persons mind

In someone's home

On the inside many are torn

Not able to stand it,

Life,

Few are like this on the outside too

Just be happy is hard

To let your smile not fall,

That too is hard

Many wait,

Wait until they are the only one,

In a place to cry,

A place to let the smile fade and drop

So don't tell anyone to just smile

You don't live their life,

Their life of pain,

Not being accepted,

Arguments tearing their life apart,

Not being able to carry friendships

Or relationships

Just letting everything fall through

Having no control over their life

You don't know what someone is going through

So ask if you can help

If you see them start to freak

Especially for no reason

Help them,

Show them you care.

Don't tell them to be happy.
