Where's the Joy?

Why is it that my poems have a darker tone?
It's not like I am miserable and feel always all alone!
Why can't I write about things that make me smile?
I know my life's not always so vile.

The truth is that right now I just can't see
that life isn't always the way it seems to be.
One day the sun will shine again!
It does everytime Reagan gives a grin.

I have to hold on to moments like those
because I just can't see past the end of my nose.
When I'm alone with a pen and paper all else fades
and the pain I finally evade.
