If Not For Happiness
What have I worked if not for happiness
What was the point of all my tears if not for peace
Why bother with anything so fickle
If grief is all it gives you
Why give myself the stomach ache of worry
If it isn’t for a fear of losing my happiness
Why would we try
If it wasn’t to find some resemblance of joy
Everything I do is to keep some sense of happiness
Intact for me to hold to when its all gone
