happiness is the best protection from this cruel world
they run at you
they run at me
every day with their harsh words and forked, hissing tongues
i feel fear and sadness
why me?
why am i the target?
but now i know
they're just afraid themselves
they too feel fear and sadness
happiness is the only escape
from reality

they too feel fear and sadness
happiness is the only escape
