Happiness


How can sadness be happiness
How can this be possible 
You will never know true happiness 
Unless you discover true pain 
When you feel
That nothing goes your way
All of a sudden 
Something amazing happens 
And then you feel great
With a help of a friend
You throw away the pain
You throw away the hardships 
Even though all hope is lost
In your head
That spark of fire
Encourages you
Tells you
You're the best
No one can't bring you down
You're golden
But only if you keep that spark.
