#findhappiness
i smile with my pain,
which gifts me my gain
i cry with my laugh,
which doubles my happiness in half

We toil
And slave
And sweat
On mundane tasks of day-to-day
In a trodden path
We pace in circles
Through a routine
Thicker than molasses
Our arm extended to both sides
And fingers spread as fans
We make the struggle even worse
In an effort to ensnare
Not matter,
But what matters
The idle chats when days draw to a close
A gentle, loving stroke
A smile, a laugh
A joyful tear
A warm embrace before the dawn
And sometimes
(if we're lucky)
Even a plump adventure
All of which we catch
In the sieves that are our palms
Bringing them
Closer to our core
Kneading
Forming
Sculpting
Into prisms of pure light
Shining like the sunrise
Placing those
One on top the other
While keeping on the go
Brick by brick
We build ourselves
A home

How does one find happiness?
How can I be happy?
Can I be happy?
Happy
It's just a feeling
Is it not?
I want to be happy
But it's so hard
How does one find happiness?
