My Happiest Memory

People talk about trips
To SeaWorld and Disneyland
Or birthday parties, for them or for friends
And times when their crush first held their hand
While they're discussing this
I sit in the corner and bitterly smile
At my pitiful existence, an excuse for a life
All this long while
Thinking about how
My happiest memory
Is of late last night
When I fell into sleep, however temporary
When I knew that
I would have relief
A break, from my life
Even though it was much too brief
When I awoke in the morning
I felt my eyes p***k as I started to cry
And lay in my bed for hours
Just asking "Why?"
Why couldn't it
Have all ended then?
While I was asleep
And my mind played pretend
But it, I, didn't all end
My moment of peace was no more than temporary
And it is pitiful that this
Seems to be my happiest memory

I congratulate you on writing 'sad' poems that don't suck.
You give yours meaning, you describe things well, you lay them out well.
You have convinced me that 'emo' is not always a bad thing smile

Talented.
