Emotion

I saw a warm smile, but I couldn’t give one back. I see contagious laughter, but I guess I never caught it. The warm fuzzy feeling that people experienced, well at least other people experienced. I never felt happy. Sadness swallowed me like a sable eating a rat. One fast strike, and just like that I’m done, I didn’t even get a chance to fight back. I never could have imagined that I could be happy, until Logan told me a place where I could but it. I headed to the store as fast as I could. I hoped that this happiness was worth it, it costed like $30, the worst part was it only lasted for one day. I swallowed the happiness, as soon as I did my entire life changed, I felt it, it worked. I enjoyed seeing people. When I entered a room I actually smiled. My friend told a joke and for the first time ever I laughed, I didn’t even know I could laugh. I loved this feeling it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I never felt the feeling of happiness before, most people don’t believe me when I tell them that, but the true is when I was just a baby my happiness was stolen. Someone broke in our house that night, the extracted and stole my happiness, and a few other things, but my happiness was the main thing that I was mad about. Why would anyone steal the happiness from innocent children, that was something I thought about a lot, but today was different. This new feeling was better than anything I have ever felt before, but I know it won’t last long, I’m trying to hold onto it for as long as I can. This won’t last forever, so I’ll make the most of it for as long as possible. I had some fun, I hung out with my friends, listened to some good jokes, and just had a happy day. The bad thing was I felt it falling away. I wasn’t laughing as hard, I was smiling less, and the warm fuzzy feeling wasn’t as warm or fuzzy anymore. It slowly slipped away until I had no happiness left. I was left in disappointment, pain, and regret. I was I never would have experienced happiness, because when it was gone I felt even worse than I did without it. I lost the only good thing I had. The pain of loosing it outweighed the joy of having it. I will forever be depressed, longing for the day I die, then I won’t be a prisoner to the sadness, and pain anymore.
