"Generalized Happiness"

by valerie-3

I feel like I should be writing There is so much to say And yet so little At the same time. I want the world to know That happiness is easy As long as you know how To look past the grime. It can be found anywhere In a far off land or on some mountain But usually It's right under your nose. It can be found in anything In a smile or a wish That's usually How it goes. Happiness is sometimes fleeting But often it is always there You just have to find it in the right spot Sometimes it's simply in the air. Other times it can't be found But you're sure it's where you left it Maybe try looking somewhere else this time It hasn't up and vanished. And when you think there's none left at all That's when you probably have it the most You just don't see it in the obvious places It's like looking for a ghost. Lift the veil from your eyes Happiness is everywhere Just remember to look in every corner, crack, under every rock I promise you, it's there.
