Happiness An Illusion a Delusion

HAPPINESS
An Illusion ?, a Delusion ? 

Happiness, we believe is held in the arms of another,
father, mother, sister or brother,
aunts, uncles, cousins, 
want to be lover, lover or wife,
children, friends,
the good life
or profession.

In search for it, many beat their heads against a wall.
If one can not see it comes from within, they will fall
into a world full of disappointment, despair, heart ache.
From this state, happiness they can not make
become a part of our lives,
no matter how one strives 
to achieve this elusive state.
This has been for many, our fate.
