The Girl Who Isn’t Really Happy-

‘Be happy’ they say, but can one be truly happy?

I don’t know, so I will write about the life of a bored girl who hopes she can be happy.

She likes to eat maraschino cherries right out of the jar. And even though only old people do it, she collects decorative spoons. She listens to punk rock to go to sleep, and really wants a pair of new shoes, but they’re too expensive. She’s a bit of a pervert, and she does calligraphy in her spare time. She plays violent video games, and loves zombie movies and slashers. She slashes herself too. The right thigh with a pocket knife. She likes the smell of lavender.

She puts on a different face though, for different people. Always smiling. And it burns her out and she cries in the school bathroom. Does she have to let down her guard to be truly happy? Who knows? She doesn’t want to show her true colors. Her world seems monochrome most of the time anyway. I’m sure she’ll figure it out though.

Maybe if she takes some deep breaths, and drinks a cup of her favorite tea. And it wouldn’t hurt to binge that new comedy anime. Baking some cookies (even though she’s a disaster in the kitchen) could help. Or she could lean on her friends. Yeah, that sounds like the best solution. It beats singing made up songs about cats in the shower. I hope she turns out alright.
