Just Happiness
Stress Defeating
Eating at my insides and throwing them away
My body aches to keep up
But my mind won't stay
It's like having an alter ego
Today, I'm nineteen
Tomorrow, I'm an old soul
Withering, withering, withering
My sane thoughts drift away
Too old to do homework
Too old to have fun
Too old to sing a melody
My voice is crackly and has no sun
I'm not bright or ecstatic
They tell me to smile
Things will get better
With faith, I wait
My mind is ready to open that gate
To wander through a meadow
And find only happiness
The only thing to taunt me there is my shadow
No racing thoughts
Only dreams brought to life
There I can rest
My mom and dad can rest
My sisters and brothers can rest
My friends can rest
We can all rest
No life of misfortune
No close aims with no cigar
Everything right in front of us
We can all hop aboard a bus
With no efforts we can ride
And only stop where there is bliss
Then life for all of us will be just happiness
