Pursuit of Happiness
Locked inside
Feeling left out
Living life but life's locked out
Hopes and dreams
Love and laughter
Here for moments then gone so long right after
Helpless thoughts
Within a crowded home
Happiness hides in the basement
While sadness steals the show
Motivation lacks as madness lapses
Running laps around bad habits
Wasting time on time to go’s
Stick around but just for show
No peace of mind until we're lavished
Gone out of mine to find the meaning but still can't grasp it
They say to live your life as if you're dying
Every second counts yet life's untimely
But what's the point when living blindly
Futures fate
The pasts behind me
Took a chance
But life's denied me
Lost my faith
Got it back
By a thread
About to snap
Here I sit
Trying to stand
Fight the demons
Be a man
Lost in the ocean
Cant find land
Life's a struggle
No upper hand
Empty notions
Glass half full
Lost my way
So long ago
Now im caged
Stuck in a hole
Fleeting strength
The depth just grows
I must be willing
This I know
Climb back up
However slow
Do not wait
Get up and go
Times against me
Stop saying no
Afraid of heights
But feeling low
Use all my might
Trudge through the snow
I will not stop
Until I'm happy
Until I’m whole
I will not stop
I w i l l n o t s t o p
Until I reach my goals
