Best Poems Written by Jessica Baker

Decisions

Happiness is not easy;
It isn’t just a feeling of exuberance.
It isn’t always a warm heart, filled with enthusiasm and excitement.

You can’t find it lying around; 
it’s hidden in the most subtle of places.
One can only find it if they choose to look for it.

No vast want will work, 
Money, clothing, fame.
It cannot replace the feeling you so desire.

You cannot expect it to be simple,
but finding it is not complicated.
It is all possible with a perseverant heart.

You can attain it,
but only if you search for it.
You must be able to look in even the darkest of places.

It may seem small
and too little to seem real,
but if you hold onto it, it will continue to grow.

No matter how dim
it is always there for you.
You must answer the question, “Do you want it?”

“Easy” is not the right word, but “worth it” is.
Despite common misconceptions, 
happiness is a choice.
