Finished

"And Yet I Am Not Happy"

Eyes opened
But purity kept
And yet I am not happy

Heart shattered
With a soul of white light
And yet I am not happy

Best friend lost and
A life still on track
And yet I am not happy

Dark and depressed with him
Laughter and light alone
And yet I am not happy

How is happiness so elusive
A mistress I seek only to lose

I strive for it
And I turn up nothing
I die for it
But my last breath is wasted.

I finally finished this poem tonight. It's been an unfinished work since my sophmore year of high school, but I knew it was there and knew it needed to be finished.
