Happy

What is happy but an imaginary world where butterflies and faries 
occasionally fly around. What is happy but a star that you must wish upon to come 
around. How can you justify happy is it the way you smile and the way you pretend 
even though your not. You can feel it through your bones it's like a strange energy 
letting go. Suddenly you feel like holding your head up high, confidence is rising 
and the mood is set for you to fly high. A little bird traveling far from it's nest 
the reason is because everything is changing. It's not like before when hiding away 
was what was worth living for. Everything you do is like another experience and you 
try to go far away from where you usually travel. Sometimes you have to do it alone 
sometimes you can't there are friends who help you along the way and no you can't 
be afraid. It's life and it takes a strong person to be happy without any influeneces of 
the body. It's life and I don't need any man to make me whole it's my start and I will 
finish weather I am together or alone. It's life and though I may tremble it's me who 
will get up from the ground and dust myself off. I won't let anyone take the one thing I 
have been praying for away from my soul. Happy. It's where I want to be, it's what I am 
now. Happy all my dreams are in reach and I am glad that I can finally say it out loud. 
Happy from far away you can tell by the way I laugh at my mistakes, happy and I will 
continue to smile unless the devil decides to take it away from me. But for now I can 
honestly say that happy is what happy does and I am happy I can say it loud and hope 
that it doesn't jinx my current state.
