Happiness

Can you define happiness Not a person, place or thing Instead, a feeling of bliss Overwhelming desire to sing It's not abstract or concrete But description of emotion So many questions on repeat As I go through the motion Of trying to experience And perhaps understand How to harmonize adherence Become in sync with the band Not in my Cheerios Doesn't grow on trees I'm standing on my tippy toes Someone help me please They say it is a choice One you make every day They haven't heard my voice Understood what I had to say I say they are ignorant They want scars to prove Somedays I just can't It hurts to even move Judging and accusations Seriously, give me some slack Their blind to indications Even a monkey can yak Why is it so difficult Just to wear a smile Yet so easy to insult I live my life on trial
