    I have searched.
    Searched far and wide,
    Looked, explored, pondered.
    Looking for my wholeness
    Hunting for completion.
    Thought that I had found completion
    Yet had only found
    Hurt, misery, and pain
    My only solace was disparagement
    Pessimism was my friend,
    Cynicism was my comfort.
    I thought I had found it.
    The secret to happiness:
    Solitude


    Then she walked into my life.
    I tried to ignore
    The feelings brewing up inside of me.
    I had build a wall out of distrust
    Pain, suffering, pessimism.
    No one was able to break the wall down
    Strong as steel,
    Solid as rock,
    Tall as mountains.
    Impenetrable.
    Then, with one word,
    The wall came crashing down
    Years of hate:
    Dust
    Thousands of cynical thoughts:
    Vaporized.
    I tried to resist,
    I tried to remember the pain
    But all I could see is sunshine.


    Now, I feel defenseless.
    The fort has been breached,
    The soldiers dropped their arms
    And surrendered
    To this foreign feeling of
    Trust, happiness, and empathy.


    Finally,
    I am happy.
    What happens now on
    Is something that I leave to her.
    All I know, and all I care
    Is that with her,
    Misery and despair leave.


    All that's left is happiness.
