Happiness

Does the pursuit of happiness end when you finally reach what you've been pursuing for so long? When you achieve the happiness for which you've fought so hard. When you look at the cards you're dealt and think, "Why this card?" Maybe this was meant to be, can't you see the message of happiness that resides within me? I must not forget that this was never meant to be temporary, but God given to be permanently a part of me. Happiness is a virtue, and eff, I miss you. Depression is a demon and a mean one. I want to be ordinary, to have that slice of normalcy. I want peace, from all the struggles, I seek release. I want nothing more than to be free. Let me be happy, please! And that moment God said let it be! He showed me the way, a happiness that is here to stay. I'm tired of the take and take, I have to remember what's at stake. No more life filled with hate, I need a clean slate. I'm ready to pursue what's true. The art of being truly happy. This is really me. Thank you for the memories and thank you God for creating this new me. I'm blassed and grateful to be everything I am destined to be.
