When

When reflections off the pavement 
no longer make you smile, 
and you haven't heard your own laughter 
echo for awhile... 

When the thought of any affection 
makes you want to scream, 
yet the thought of physical pain 
makes your eyes begin to gleam... 

When your fist feels more natural  
being curled up into a ball, 
but it somehow feels even better 
when it makes contact with a wall... 

When you're no longer sure 
if happiness is obtainable, 
and your fake-ass smile 
is sad and unsustainable... 

When there's no longer beauty 
found in every day things, 
then what's the point of seeing 
what tomorrow even brings?
