In this world frowning is not allowed. The president noticed everyone looked sad one day and decided to make it a law. He tried to make everyone happy, but it led to a different outcome.
I was getting ready to go to my mom’s funeral. I knew I couldn’t cry even though I really wanted to. My mom had been there for me on the worst of days and I’m not even allowed to properly mourn her.
Once I get ...

People here are too happy. They should be, they're only doing what they're supposed to, but it makes me feel like life is missing something.
It's easy as an adult, but kids are so whiny and sad. I don't know why they can't just suck it up and accept happiness over sadnes. Just the word "sadness" makes me shiver. A world with sadness would be worse than one with too much happiness, but you can ne...
“I always thought I would feel different”
But I didn’t
Because I couldn’t
“I always thought it would change things”
But it’s absence,
Because it shouldn’t ,
“I wondered what if we had this?”
But that was quashed,
Buried deep,
“I searched for it but only found a maw”
A bloodied mass of silence,
Tempered by hot uncertainty,
“Was this what I was supposed to find”
But they said it didn’t exist,
T...
There is no sound now,
When I lower the bucket.
I have no wells to dig into,
No pockets of emotion to pull,
To write something.
A silly poem.
I am surprisingly awake,
For being hollow.
But I guess it takes nothing
To feel nothing.
It’s hard to swallow.
Just yesterday afternoon,
Was it?
Did I feel a bud poking from the ground.
Only for snow to come,
And cover it around.
My world does not share t...
I’ve been feeling out of place lately
More than usual.
And my behaviors are exaggerated
And I’m even more obsessive.
There’s not a diagnosis for it,
I’m just weird.
Strange.
Abnormal.
I don’t understand myself.
I don’t understand my behaviors.
I don’t understand my choices.
A lot of the times I don’t feel like myself.
Like when I get all energetic and jump around,
And laugh so easily at every lit...

OFFICER: “You’re what?”
What.
What did I say.. uh…
OFFICER: “We’re you about to say you’re  sad?”
No. I was about to say… sssssssllimy?

Of course.

Not everyone is born pretty,
You know.
Some people have to work for it.
And not everyone is blessed with a talent like yours,
Some people cry themselves to sleep over it.
Not everyone can be perfect like you.
Not everyone can be honest like you.
I used to complain a lot,
Now I think I rarely do.
What have I to complain about?
When I look at you.
Comparison is the death of what?
Her happiness

Once upon a time, in a world where showing negative emotions was strictly forbidden, lived a town called Joyville. In Joyville, people were always expected to be cheerful, kind, and polite. It was a place where anger, frustration, and even the occasional curse word were replaced with laughter, fruit names, and playful banter.
In this peculiar town, there lived two neighbors, Lily and Max. They we...
It’s a great day today! It’s going to be a great day today! I’m so happy to be alive in such a beautiful place! It’s amazing! It’s beautiful! It’s incredible! It’s…its…what the fuck is wrong with this place?!
I’m fucking dying inside!…I haven’t been allowed to show my true emotions since the new regime took over…it’s against the law to show emotions other than…happiness.
