If I write about
Happy rainbows,
Unicorns filled with
Joy;
I’d go nuts.
If I wrote about
A perfect life,
A perfect family,
It’d all be so fake.
If I wrote about
Death.
Pain.
Despair.
Broken Hearts.
It would seem,
I was the only sane,
Rational
Person alive.

I thought it would come to me earlier, but this poem finally dawned on me: the real reason behind the dreary poems!
