Happy

All our lives we are told to feel happy All our lives we are sold this idea Stop right now and think when was the last time you were genuinely happy No other feelings just happy I don't know about you but I don't remember Now don't be sad because that's perfect It makes us crave it because we're never just happy We're worried We're stressed We're tired We're a mess So smile once in awhile and think on this If we're all fighting to be happy At least we're not fighting alone

I sooo get your wisdom! I am tired of people telling me I should seek to be happy (all of the time). I tell them I don't need or want to be happy (all of the time), I simply seek contentment; because when I am happy, I truly know the difference; happiness for me, is an unexpected bonus! Thanks for sharing

I think that happiness is one of the most important things in life and as you said, we are never just happy. Emotions are complex and I think it's okay to feel nervous or stressed at the same time as being happy. I definitely think happiness is something to fight for and as you mentioned, we're all fighting for it.

A very well written poem.
I think we all should look out for each other
More often than we do.
