Happiness

Happiness is just a childhood dream.
They all say that
Never will
We find it.
We all know that
Among heartbreak, confusion, loneliness, hatred, and grief,
Happiness is only a lie.
We laugh when they say
Happiness isn’t searched for -
It is found in ourselves, because
If we look carefully,
Happiness doesn’t exist.
It is a reality,
Unless you look at it another way.
