Disney Channel and Dad jokes
In a room of pink walls.
Sweet pancakes and egg yolks
Begging for a dog!
Grades were just numbers
And calories didn’t exist!
Oh, it was nice to be a child! Ignorance was bliss!
The dog made me happy
Such a cute face
Smiling every morning
From the same cozy place!
Yes I was happy!
But happiness went blip
No more pink walls now.
And Dad’s age is on the slip
I cry at sad movies
cause now I relate.
I wish I cared less
About looks and my weight.
I mumble out words now in fear of being wrong…
How did we get to this land of sad songs?
Are you happy, they ask? Yes! Yes!
I say.
How could I not be, when I have it my way?
A family, a home and things that I own
I should be grateful, I shouldn’t atone.
But happiness flees, it flees! It flees!
The older I get, the less that I see!
Take me back to when depression was small
And anxiety was nothing at all.
And I am still young! There’s still room to grow!
But it seems where I go,
unHappiness follows.
