Monologue

I�ve sat alone for what seems an eternity,
wishing that the �could haves� and the �ifs�
would have come true.
Chasing after ghosts in the corridors of my dreams,
fighting off the realization
that the emptiness I feel is loneliness.

What have become of the dreams I once had?
Torn to pieces and set aside like forgotten treasures,
Left to be discovered when they no longer have use or meaning.

I spent my entire life searching for happiness,
the kind of black-and-white 50�s television show happiness,
never knowing where it was or how to obtain it.
Maybe some aren�t destined for happiness;
or maybe I have been looking for it in all the wrong places.
Maybe it was right in front of me all along.
