In A Happy World  by Cori Boyd, Lexington, KY      Feb2010

in a happy world i don't cry
in a happy world you hold me and we face the world together
in a happy world i don't scream in silence as they leave
in a happy world someone is thier to wipe the tears from my cheeks
in a happy world you are here
in a happy world you aren't with her
in a happy world i would not exist
in real world you and her
i am nothing to you.  

even though you broke my heart
i never cried no matter how much it hurt.
even though i wanted to yell out after you
when you walked away
i silenced my voice.
even when you left and moved on and grew up
i wanted to follow you 2 the edge of the earth
but i forced my feet the other way.
everything about me hurt.
and it was all. because of u.
