State of Mind
We start out this life all the same-
Looking for happiness while playing life’s game;
We search for another to help us get through-
For we think that’s the easiest thing to do;
We hope that someone else will make us feel whole-
But then what happens if they decide to go;
Do you turn to someone else or try something new?-
Where else can you look? What else can you do;
You can have another drink or pop another pill-
But that kind of happiness just isn’t real;
To life you feel like you don’t belong-
And you wonder to yourself where you went wrong;
Then, you look in the mirror and what do you see?-
A glimpse of yourself saying, “Look inside me”;
For happiness is purely a state of mind-
Something you must look inside to find…
