Happiness

Happiness may be where my friends are. For with them many memories were made, But those moments and times now feel so faraway. The truth seeming to be they all have left me, Loneliness is my only companion, I formerly believed. The friends I have now are whom I have chosen, For their differences from me I long to perceive. Their individual natures I wish to cherish, Because I will never let my own character perish. My friendships have given me reasons to change, For they have freed me from feeling isolated. Happiness found alongside my friends, Only then do I have my broadest range of potent emotion. Happiness can also be so easily lost. For inner strength has pulled me through those years, And inner turmoil often carried a younger me in tears. Never again do my feelings want to feel betrayed. I will always remember the human nature of my peers. Temporarily was my happiness left in disarray. I will continue to remember the significance of those years. Those times ended, but still replaying in memory to this day. Never will my open-hearted conscience damage anyone. My happiness can be wherever and whenever I please, When absent, growth is what my inner child receives. Happiness found inside all of depression, Only then do I attain my own brand of integrity. Happiness is within me, as well as symbolically in the stars. For since my youth the universe and the Earth interested me, And a longing for something more has shaped me. Forever my soul shall live, eternal existence. This life I am living now, amazingly blueprinted. A sense of destiny, trust in fate, faith in a higher being: All things that bring life meaning for people, I find intriguing. For with a broad-mind, one acknowledges everything. Religion ties all karmically, science teaches all significantly, All I see is the power of human soul evolution. Everything has something in common, existence. Happiness found within my own search for Truth, Only then do I believe in me and humanity. Happiness has always been sheltered. For the love from my family is such a blessing, And so they give me plenty of reason to live. Home is where part of my heart resides, But my spirit has long longed to go across the seas. Naivety can be a good thing, a peculiar courage. Don't worry my family, I'm more responsible than you think. One day I will be living entirely on my own. For those years are all my inner child envisioned.
