I am alone
Even in the group I am alone
They are happy
And I can be happy with them
But it lingers
The sadness lingers in the back of my mind
It will rise up
The sadness will consume me
Barely agreeing
I will have allowed it to win
Happiness is gone
I let it escape without an argument
Happiness couldn't stay
It was a free spirit that I couldn't keep in a glass jar
I see constantly
A new happiness I also cannot shackle
So with no option
I will dwell in my sadness
It forever my slave
And I forever the slave of sadness
Forever only
To see happiness from an unbreachable distance
