“Happiness is a fleeting feeling” By: Alyssa Galiza

As I look upon the window of my room……

I see the sun rising and up until now these memories keeps on coming back….

I closed my eyes and afterwards opened it feeling the heat that the sun is giving my skin….

I was desperately looking for something that I can’t even explained what I really need, yet I’m still searching…

As I continue to walk down the street while I feel the sun’s heat striking through my skin hurting, yet giving me the warmth that my body needs.

While I was walking I saw people that is greeting, laughing, and do weird and fun things with me that made me happy….

that made me realize happiness is what I need, yet I’m still searching…

Without noticing it, the skies already turned to its yellow orange color..

color that signifies that the sun is leaving like the people I just met…

It is already dark and I still continue to walk looking for something that I didn’t permanently felt.

As I continue to walk I encountered a group of people that pushed, kicked, and say that everything is I do is useless, but I realized they are too many for me to fight back.

As I slowly stand up, I look up and saw the darkness that gives the cold breeze. I continued to walk and realized that I’m lost, yet I’m still searching.

I stopped walking, sat to one of the metal barriers, feeling the pain physically and emotionally.

I’m tired.….

Then I stood up realizing that the color of the skies changed, and know now that the sun rising and would give me the warmth and light.

As I think of the memories that made me realize what happiness is, I realized I didn’t look for it. It just rise and gave my life a guiding light that happiness is felt through darkness and pain.
