# Missing The Mark
*Lately I've been thinking 'bout how miserable I've been*\
*Sadness never comforts me, but it's been my best friend*\
*And I could write more lines 'bout how I wish I could see*\
*All the love and friendship all my peers tell me they see*
*Oh God, I wish*\
*I could be happy for myself*\
*Oh God, I wish*\
*I could be happy for myself*
*Keeping myself busy so the bad thoughts stay away*\
*Telling myself good things so emotions won't go stray*\
*Battles, always battles, fight the bad side of my brain*\
*No, I'm not alone, but still it sometimes feels that way*
*Oh God, I wish*\
*I could be happy for myself*\
*Oh God, I wish*\
*I could be happy for myself*\
*Oh God, I wish*\
*I could be happy for myself*
**It always seems it should be easier than this**
