Trying to be Happy Poem

[Guest guest]

It Seems Hard To Be Happy

 

Every night when I watch the Olympics

I see all the athletes

The swimmers and gymnasts

Winning gold medals

And their parents watching them

And talking about how proud they are of them

I think about what I was doing

Two or three months ago

That disappointed and upset my parents

And thought I should have made them proud

 

I get upset and I bite my hand and scream

But just a little bit

Then the next day

My stomach gets a little screwed up

 

I enjoy watching the Olympics

Having a couple of drinks

While watching them

And I am proud to watch Team USA win

I just have this feeling like I have to make my family

My region

And even my country proud

 

I just got to be happy

For my health

And for my behavior

Because haven’t been doing

These disappointing and upsetting things

That my parents don’t like

I just wish someone would help me

With my PMS
