Middle of nowhere
Side of a highway
Living off ciggerette smoke
Hot air
And tough love
The sun is sweltering
The lake is swampy
Jump right in the waters green
**** is the past time
And Walmarts the big trip
Will you ever leave here
Your down to your last dip

Happiness is long stretched out moments of smiles
Happiness is your baby calling out "mama!" *** she loves and needs you
It's having a sweet day with your partner
Though it's been rough
Happiness is peace amidst this war we call life
It's seeing the ones you love build families
It's family blood or adopted
Happiness is writing,
Talking
Expressing without fear
It's having someone who understands
Happiness is togetherness
Keeping life full
Today
Is happiness

I'm not a wash cloth
Only so many times one can be ringed out
Most of my worth is gone
And I've faded
Suppose to be new
But been used too many **** times to count
Keep thinking I'll get there
Yet each set back comes less tears
This is life
Take a look in the mirror
This is who I am
Set loose goals
Never make em
Keep running
Hoping to take them from someone whose not looking
Unsuccessfully
Life is to short to work this hard
Life's too short to do nothing
I know I'm not alone
Got my baby looking
My bestest
My right hand
She's watching my every move
If I act like I'm overwhelmed she'll notice
My cover will be blown
So I keep my head as high as my heart will let me
Keep it pushing
Keep scraping by
Hopefully my hard work pays off
Before I die
