Happiness Is Just A Step Away

All these days,
happiness seems to be just a step away.
Cups filled with ectasy pills,
don't you know this is how i escape?
Everyday i think of regrets,
And all of the things I neglect.
I'm wondering why I even cared,
when were they even there?
Love, and be cut deep in the wounds.
Trust, and you'll taste bittersweet betrayal.
Yet friendships around has become so superficial,
I just wonder how people get by these days living,
a lie they'll never face.
Maybe I need someone to hop along my way,
cross my path and make my day.
Maybe all I need is someone to understand,
to help me, listen and care.
I'm wearing this year's heart on my sleeve,
and my broken rhythm around my neck,
just for a single hope,
that maybe laughter may come one day.
All these days, my happiness is just a step away.
