Happiness

By Phoenixfire

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What is happiness but a state of mindthat at times your mind allows you to go toWhat is sadness but a state of beingthat your being tends to cling toI can go far away from me - But escape my misery I can notSo I just sit and watch the night go bywatching those that go and comeAnd as I watch I have to smilecuz i know what i have done - I won the fight between me and Iand have torn the hole back into my mindhappiness is minewell - the long of the short of it is i was bored. its nothing great or fantastic, but i really believe that your emotions are just a frame of mind, and you can be happy all the time if you really want to be. Its a long drawn out philosophical theory, lol Written September 26th, 2001 © on Sep 26 2001 03:33 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
