The simplicity of Happiness

, Roswell, NM

The depressed soul hungers for happiness, but fears of disliking change
The pain of heart by far can not surpass the fear of not being wanted
Unintentionally one finds them self indulged in unreachable dreams
The thoughts of the depressed one do not make since to others
One Searching, Finding, but ignoring the answer that lies before their eyes
Happiness does not hide, One just has to open their eyes, and look............<3

People get soo blinded by the bad in the world, it is easy to get lost and think there is no way to be happy. But if you try and look and yean for that than it will be there... cuz ive experienced that myself, sometimes(not all the time) you feel like there can be no way to be happy and you want to completly give up. but i guess...

oo and something else, i get the whole close your eyes and dream of something better, but will that really help? Just wishing, and wondering wont really change anything. You need to push yourself and face it, make a change, before it's too late because if you ignore it all, i dont believe it will fix it. But thx i totally apreciate your comments.
