The Source of Happiness


After having my heart completely cut in half My life was woe I didn't know What my purpose in life Was anymore I couldn't see what there Was to look forward to I was a robot just walking With nothing to walk to Completely depressed And hurt Because the one thing The one person My life pretty much revolved around Left me For some better opportunity And I guess I was the fool To refuse to see How hopeless this One sided relationship was I was depending too much on them And they weren't really thankful for me It was probably just some selfish thing For both of us But still, it seemed like The best thing that's ever happened to me It was also very hurtful But i needed it Because I finally asked myself the question What does everyone look forward to in life? Since I lost who I thought Was my everything I needed new and true motivation I listened to what others had to say What they had to look forward to every day I heard things better than money, recognition, And even relationships Some people said they lived for family Some live to see the moon at night Some people just like to live Because the taste of being alive Is powerful But I decided That I wanted something else I want to find peace and turn to my religion I figured that if I could live happily Doing things On my own Then I would be unstoppable If I were truly at peace with myself I would be at peace with others I want to show people genuine kindness In a world that sometimes Seems to lack it My new goal is to live independently But also for others To help when I can But to be comfortable When I'm alone To handle myself And my loud emotions The right way My goal is to make this world A better place To make it's people And myself Happier and better people As much as I possibly can
