Far Away to Happiness

When the world is full of sunlight,
how can I possibly ignore the radiant happiness?
But then,
how can I ignore the pain, anger, and sorrow?
Happiness means so much,
but requires so much to obtain it.
It requires being stronger than the past and the memories
it requires ignoring previous happiness,
ignoring the reasons everything went wrong.
It requires remaking yourself,
starting again,
beginning a new life.
I can't think back to when everything was perfect,
I'll remember how far away that is.
I can only think of now,
here with what's left of me.
