Happiness and Health

Lift the foundations of happiness; let it manifest within! 
O how I’ve grown weary for the ceaseless battle to feel ____
There is no superior love than amid myself and my piece of mind;
My nutrition and happiness finally appear aligned
Here lie my wounds - raw as flesh, without abeyance to my pain 
Let me be turned inside out, wrong side up - here lives my own insane
Mind to body, I’ve heard that your love is blind
An image within which solace I find 
Happiness is the journeywork of years, I swear, it will come someday!
Though one can only feel alive when adversity is at bay.

Grappling with these thoughts of love
Knowing all too well, this is a work from above 
No longer thinking of my image with grief
My cortex has been the ultimate thief...
Of my happiness and health.
