HappYness

And the cheeks go red

And when lips go convex

They say you are happy

When I stood first in my class

And the fellows applauded

My parents were proud

I thought it was happy

When I first rode a bike

And broke my knee

And felt a sense of freedom

I thought I was happy

The day I went to college

I thought I grew up

Made tons of friends

I thought I was happy

Then I began earning

It was a dream job

I was independent

I thought I was happy

All this would go one day

Most of this was gone

It had all become a memory

So how can that be happy?

There are things that light me up

Plenty that makes me red

Simple jokes bring a smile

But was I really Happy?

So I thought to myself

What was that I felt about all that?

Why is it that I don't feel it now?

Can anybody find me happiness somehow?

I have passed several exams

And earned many a pay cheques

But that thing that you call Happy

Am still finding to death!

Happy isn't in your expression

Happy isn't in your action

Happy isn't hard to find

Coz Happ'y'ness is all in your mind!
