It's Not On The Tip Of My Brain

It's supposed to be something exciting
something new
and different
a refreshment of opportunities


but if that's true
then why am I sad


why can I not understand
what's going on
beneath my words


why do I try to figure it all out
and cause problems
where they don't exist


why am I the way I am?
why can't I just enjoy
what people tell me to


it should be
a happy moment
in time
but I can't focus on that
I can focus on anything but --


it's the furthest thing
from my mind --
the term "happiness"
because my face has forgotten
how to smile.
