Why do we make ourselves unhappy?
every time we walk and talk
we are unhappy.

Happiness is a choice.
The only thing that causes depression
is a lack of happiness in one's life.

Yes there is hopelessness,
despair,
grief,
and sorrow,
but we can make all the pain (suffering)
go away with happiness.

We wake up every day
(or just decide to start the day
after a night of sleepless thought)
and the first choice is not sleeping in,
or what to wear,
or what to eat,
no.

Our first choice is "how do I feel today?"
because happiness is but a choice.

we choose to be unhappy,
you and I.
We are single, and in that right,
alone.

So then we ask ourselves,
"is it better to be happy
with a person for temporary happiness,
or fight through the pain and loneliness
for someone who gives us true happiness?"

We know that it's better to be truly happy.
So we are single, and in that right
alone.

I know you are sad,
I am too.
But I'm here for you
to lean on,
or to cry into my shoulder,
or to lay your tired head on my lap
and sleep till morning.  

So hug me when you are sad,
and talk to me when you are worried,
because you deserve the world
and one day someone will give it to you
in the palm of their hand,
and you will want nothing else from them.

Trust me I know.
