"I tried to
smile. I tried to be
happy.
I wanted so much to just laugh again,
just like old times. But I
couldn't.
The darkness that surrounds
me presses on.
I can't feel. I can't think. I can't even hope.
Hope is lost. Dreams
are gone. Yet still I try.
I can't quite remeber
why, but if I give up I'll
never know what it would be like to be happy."
