Happy?

You say you're happy
You think you're happy
You feel happy
But all of the sudden
In a quiet room
All alone
You feel sick
Then realize it's not that
You aren't happy
You're sad
Lonely
Your eyes start to water
As the truth hits you
Like a punch to the stomach
You close your eyes
Curl fists
Wondering why
Why this is
"Because of HIM," a voice whispers
You gasp for air
Wanting to deny
Deny reality
It's not true, not true
You repeat
If only you could go back
Back to the Better
Impossible
You scream
But you hear nothing
Everything goes black
Everything is invisible
And in a flash
You're back
You reach into your bag
Grab IT
Ready to leave reality
Go to paradise
No more hurt
But then,
They appear
Amazing
Beautiful
Mystical
Luminous
IT slowly slips from your hands
They come closer
And pick It up
You look at Their hand
And watch as it disappears
They smile
They grab your hand
To them, You are Amazing
Mystical
Luminous
Beautiful
Dark
You are Their Beautiful Darkness
They are your Mystical Chaos

Very beautiful, but also somewhat mysterious. What is it? And who is are the ones who pull the speaker away? The cynic in me sees the phrases "Go to paradise/ No more hurt/ But then they appear/Beautiful/Mystical/Luminous" and thinks of a drugged-out dream, that it was a siringe. If that were true, this is one of the most haunting things Ive read all month. What weird phantasmic creatures took her mind away...? What desperation must she have been in to be driven to this. It gives me chills to think of it... but the optimist in me is rather conflicted. It see the final lines "You are Their Beautiful Darkness/They are your Mystical Chaos" and can help but have a little hope. Perhaps, what ever harmful thing it was (for surely the IT was harmful, even if it was only an object of "his" memory) was not lost and forgotton in artificial bliss and taken by imaginary creatures, but taken by the very friends she stared out with before she was able to stand alone and realize how sad she was. Perhaps this person was merely cheered by her friend, friends who accept her and she finds beautiful because they are as dismal and lonely as she is. Haha, some weird hope, eh?
