FELICITY
By Alan Stallsmith

In search of felicity
I befriended despair
Drudging up past demons
That I should have left there

These memories haunt
These insecurities roar
Sometimes my mind
Doesn't know what it's for

I grasped so tight
My hands they bled
I slept so long
This life's a bed

Awaken! Awaken!
Demand brand new!
Take action! Take action!
This can't always be you!

These days haven't ended
And the clock's hands still move
And this life is a train
Conducted by you

So in meeting felicity
I looked in the eyes of despair
Said "Thanks for the memories.
But I no longer live there"
