You, Why? Why Not?

You, Why?  Why Not?

You have everything that you thought would make you happy but you aren’t 
Why?
She pours her heart out for you and you don’t do it back
Why?
You tell her you aren’t happy, but don’t know the answer to your own happiness
Why?
You can’t be happy no matter what you do with your life 
Why?
Everything you do never is good enough for your own expectations
Why?
She tells you to just be happy; life is too short to not be happy, you think to yourself, well
Why not?  Happiness isn’t in what you do, it’s not in your achievements, Life happiness is in 
who you have.
