&quot;Sop being afriad of what could go wrong. Start being positive about what could go right&quot;<br /> I also have another &quot;Loving someone is like hugging a cactus. The harder you hold the more it hurts&quot;

My world turns black
My soul turns cold
My heart turns grey.
I never smile
I never say hey.
I am never happy
I'm always down.
I always see the bad
I always see the dead.
People ask if I'm depressed
I only answer with a shrug.
People say that I should smile
I always frown instead.
I don't know how people are always happy.
I don't get how they always smile.
The world is not a happy place.
There's always war, there's always death.
So why are people so happy?

This is one of my first poems I wrote and I wrote it one day when I was really sad and had no reason to smile.
