To Be In Happy Bliss
Is there really
Any way to
Be forever happy?
Honestly, I don't
Think there is,
That's asking a
Very complex being
To choose to be
One thing forever,
As a simple thing
Only feeling a
Single emotion within
All the others
But if I had
To choose a way
To keep someone
Eternally peaceful
They would need
To have self love
To be happy
On their own
And also powered
By the hope that
Things can always
Get better along
With the determination
And drive to make
Those hopes come true,
A passion to make
Everything right
And an understanding
Of others to know
When they need
Help behind the
Harsh words that
They can say
Instead of taking
Words to heart,
A person would
Need to know
How to stay
Calm under pressure
And how to spread
It to others
In general, they'd
Have to be perfect
In every way
But that's not
How humans are
So this ideal
Is completely unreal
Though the sentiment
Is very nice
And I wish it
Could be that way
Sometimes but humans
Aren't wired in
That way
