H-A-P-P-Y

Happiness seems to be a fleeting thing as of late
The closer I get to it
The further it seems to move away
I know you can't find it in others
And it rarely, if ever, can be found in tangible possessions
It's a right
We all have
But many seldom find

In my case
It's a longing and
Loneliness that haunts
my existence
That nothing seems
to distill or quench
I hunger for things I have to wait for
I thirst for a time in my life when
I'm completely free of the past's pull and society's bite
I'm yearning for something I think is simple

I've got a history of high expectations
and asking for too much
And it's even surprising to me
When the conditions are met
But this is simple
in a conventional
and spiritual sense
Nothing too complex
(or so it seems)

I guess I'll just have to
dig a little deeper
Look inside
a little longer
Till I find
All that adds up
to being
H-A-P-P-Y
