confused sadness

I've no bad times to write about,
no troubles, fears or strife,
I hear sad tales,
 of death and jail,
but none of that is in my life.
Yet I'm miserable,
in my own way,
though I've got no reason to be.
must be that guys love,
that though I try,
I just can't seem to free.

Reminds me of a discussion my mother,

who was a childhood war refugee, had with me. She told me that a day when one is healthy enough to complete one's chores, has the necessities and nothing horrible has happened is a good day and one is lucky to have those days. A matter of perspective.
