Happiness Where Are You

Life has no meaning, but meaning has life.
They said happiness is free, 
but I crossed the seven oceans to find one
but didn't find an atom.
I claimed several mountains in search of it, 
but I always ended up falling behind it with a shattered hope.
I walked through several deserts but happiness continues to be a mirage
that brings me closer to hope
but, once again, leaves me shattered
