You Just Are

A rumor is going around I'm not sure if it's true There are people who are happy Have you heard it too ? Did they buy a fancy new car Or wish upon a shiny star No, no, they just are Did they buy all new clothes Or get a new job on the nose No, it's nothing they chose they just are Did they take some happy pills Or find happy cures for sad ills No, they stay hopeful and happy through their spills and ills they just are So can I get this happiness too ? It would be too good to be true I've tried before, to stay off the floor And keep the happy door open So was my heart so hoping but I wasn't Happiness was so hard Dodging glass slivers and shards Believing you were worth it Knowing no one is perfect so hard How awesome to look at sadness From lifetimes of lives afar Then YOU can be one of the happy people Just because... YOU JUST ARE !!

Very melodic, this had me singing it as I read. The message is kind of sad but wonderfully expressed and the poem is fantastic.
