Happily Ever After

I write things
Im not sure if they are poems
I know they come from me
They dont always rhyme
There often isn't a logical reason
I write them no matter how I feel
No matter what season

Here's what I think
Here's what I think I know
People write poems about where they want to go
I think all poems are inherently sad
All based on something bad

If its a poem about love
Its because the author experienced pain

If its about hope
Its because the author has none and wishes she did

If its about redemption
Its root cause is because the author wants to be redeemed.

There are no "Happily Ever After's"
Just like there are not any happy poems

People write for a reason
That reason is because of sadness
Because of sorrow
Not of hope

I find this sad because I think there should be happy poems

But in a way I am glad there are sad poems.

Sad poems make us realize how thankful we should be
They make us realize that around us there are people hurting worse off then we are
Sad poems may hurt
But it also gives you hope.


Hope that things will get better
Hope that you wont feel that same pain
Hope for a better day

Hope for a better tomorrow
