Happiness

Happiness is what marks my face
This fake smile is out of place
 
The heart is breaking in my chest
Hands folded against my breast
 
Aiking to smile again
Making people wonder where I've been
 
Look in the mirror and tell myself
I put all my problems on the shelf
 
I embrace the Goddess that I am
No longer will I give a tinker's damn
 
The problems I have melt away
A real smile will cross my face today.
