2. more than this

flash back to the past,
loved time with friends,
just feeling fine,
the joys and highs,
never had to worry
about a thing
other than how long
we could stay awake,
play video games all day,
ignore the world,
sit in bliss
and sing the praises
for all the great things
life gave to us,
never felt any pain.

we were happy then,
now we’re depressed,
left to lick our wounds
as these challenges
weigh down on us,
and the friend
you once called
your “BFF” is gone,
all they’ll ever be
is a memory,
a pale shadow
of a time
when everything
was carefree,
before our spirits
were drained.

now it’s lonely,
the victories
ring hollow,
no matter the size,
big or small,
i only feel lost,
this life seems false,
and i find myself
yearning for more,
wishing to be happy
like the once bright,
positive guy,
but it feels like my light
no longer shines,
will my stars ever align?

i want more than this.
