Longing For Happiness

A little happiness my way, is that asking so much? It just seems to be the one thing that I cannot grasp. I'm not asking for much, I just feel it's my turn, to wake up with a smile, that's all that I yearn. I'm not a bad person, perhaps wrong in the past, but i've paid my dues and been punished, so how long does this have to last? How I long to be happy and feel life's worth the live, there's only one person I now live for, I live my life for his. I keep getting knocked down, but jump straight back up, I appreciate everyone has a share of bad luck. But now this is beginning to make me feel weak, I just long to find happiness, that's all that I seek! So if anyone can hear me, please consider my request, even the tiniest piece of happiness, would be the absolute best!
