I can’t help but ask where happiness lays

The wonder has destroyed my innocence

I hear noises around, the calm bright days

Thinking makes the person I am numb and tense

The pain is bound to eject my deep soul

It’s not depression, it’s just a mysterious crave

Perhaps it’s easy, perhaps it’s by the fire with coal

But it’s not depression, look around, be brave

I smile when there’s happiness, laugh when I can

I care and love, but for everyone; something burns

The endlessness the night sky carries, it’s there

Smile is the escape, a free mind, lessons we learn

No matter the scene, the weather, or time of day

I can’t help but ask where happiness lays
