Happy

Let's take a quick look, 
A little look see, 
A simple peak 
To understand what happiness is to me
And what it used to be 
It used to be fake euphoria, 
Complete fantasy
Call me crazy, 
But happiness used to be
It used to be described as temporary.
Fueled by fits of self misery, 
Too many pills, and too many drinks 
It used to be real, but not free
Happiness was caged, and costly 
Now happiness jumps from 10 to 3
Sky high to down deep 
Making me continue to seek 
To search for happiness where it used to be 
Mind and body out of sync 
Trying to find simplicity and happy 
But emotion isn't easy
Happy looks like the people around me 
Able to think and be with ease
To take in the little things
And see beauty 
That is to me as happiness seems 
No facade, no mask, no reason 
Simply forward moving; no freeze 
To just be 
Freely 
Simply 
Happy

Limit (Nearly Accidentally OD)

Nearly OD out of habit 
Who did I become?
Where did this come from 
I found a demon inside of me 
Lurking in dark hidden places
Yearning to be freed
How does one nearly accidentally OD? 
Forgetfulness fills my head 
Spinning me 
Asking why I'm not yet dead 
Simple ibuprofen, how an overdose 
Using it as a crutch I got confused
Now only 2 seems a dream 
Attainable by only memory
Remember: only take 2. 
You are not the same you 
Since when is needing therapy simplicity 
And that's all you were 
Or so thought the world
Anxiety torturing and taunting
Creatures raging at the misunderstanding 
Misjudgment fueling misery 
Making only 2 in true pain harder to take
Do I know a limit  
If I did could I play within it? 
But I did tonight 
I feel somehow not right 
Even though the 2 is all I truly did take 
I feel like the feeling is false; 
This guilt must be fake
