I want Happiness
  How do I do this?
  challenges that try a persons soul
  Life is torn and tattered
  Regrets and broken hearts
  They all tear at the person I was!
  Pulling at every last string
  But the world keeps turning
  Its as if im not here
  my soul is broken
  I am scarred
  I am changed
  Changed for the better?
  Maybe, changed for the worst
  The anger boils inside
  All it would take is that one thing
  To send me over edge
  I still somehow manage a smile
  In these troubled times
  I manage to grab a foothold,
  A grip on this madness
  I still pull myself up one step at a time
  Through the fighting and the screaming
  I push through to the light at the end of the tunnel
  Carrying myself through
  The problems I face day to day
  You wouldn’t understand
  The constant struggle to find
  Happiness in this cruel world
  Ive suffered some great losses
  People that you love gone
  Before you know it, they are gone
  Never coming back
  That moment it hits
  The way it tears at the soul
  Its not right
  Its enough to drive a person mad
  But I still struggle through this never-ending darkness
  Hoping to find something
  That will mend my soul
  Happiness is all I desire
  But agony still finds it way at my doors
  The knives of sadness slicing away
  But there is still a small light
  At the end of this long tunnel
  I will fight my way through
  The constant feeling of everybody is against you
  I no longer want it
  I want happiness
