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
