The Land of Unhappy

(Draft 1)

Welcome to the land of Unhappy

Where willows line the hills

And the wind roams throughout the land

Delivering it's icy chills

*

This is the land of Unhappy

Where sorrow is the king

He rules the land with an iron fist

Over his people, like you and me

*

This is the land of Unhappy

Where darkness is his queen

Standing soulless, a heart of stone

Her presence felt on every street

*

Here in the land of Unhappy

The skies are gray and moods are blue,

Love is hate and to laothe is to adore

So forget the things you knew to be true

*

Welcome to the land of Unhappy

Where nothing feels right, and that's okay

Beware if you enter, you may never leave

So welcome, we hope you enjoy your stay
