How do you achieve happiness?
How can it be attained?
The truth is, happiness is there,
residing within you.
All it takes is to search,
to go past all those deep, dark,
and lurking mongers.

When you see it, you will know.
It will capture your eye and
you will crave for it.
You are tired of being torn down
and beaten.
You are ready to be happy, to live free.

You want to, but are scared.
You think if you let go of her,
You will lose all that is good.
You think that if you forget the past,
it will not have happened.

Don't forget the sad, the anguish
that is life.
But see past it, into the distance,
beyond the heavy clouds of
despair,
there is sunlight.

And it's waiting.
Waiting for you.
It is patient.
It does not grow angry.

First, you must fight the storm,
and until it blows over,
you must stay strong.

It will be worth it.
I have faith in you.
Once you reach that light warmth
of happiness,
it will claim you.

It will wrap you in it's warmth
and cover you like a blanket.
It will whisper in you're ear
all of the good that does happen.

It will remind you of the past
and how you conquered it so powerfully.
It will give you gentle kisses
that flow straight to your heart.

Let me show you happiness.
