In Pursuit of Happiness

Does happiness only live in story books?
The people that are happy seem to always look the same, a perfect grin on their faces, I want that grin 

I am in pursuit of a perfect grin…happiness 

They must have all they need, I can’t even imagine what living happily means …my inner man struggles, we are always at war; Searching for a better tomorrow 
Happy people must live in a place where depression has no open doors

I want that perfect life …I am in pursuit of that grin …I want to live in happiness where the sun unfolds its beauty every morning and the moon has a smiling face singing lullaby at nights… I am going to live there, in that happy place.
