My friend wrote this. His poems are in demand =) Listen to the song on the side - Who Am I by Casting Crowns. Happy reading! :)

 .

A journey to happiness is a made up fantasy,

A dream of someone desperate for attention

Something that only happens in movies,

There is no such trek

 .

Life is boring, dull and wicked,

Went out feeling blessed,

Only to come back home broken and rusted

Disappointed and misunderstood,

 .

No one can be trusted,

Your best mate can turn at you at any moment

You can say something that you won’t mean,

That will only lead to your reputation’s despair

 .

Life is the epitome of hatred and pain,

The lifeblood of the poverty of smiles

The entertainment of sadists and demons,

The slayer of a dragon named hope

 .

Yet still there you are looking for optimism,

Here you are hoping for a bit of fun

With a slim stick you wish to stand again,

Still you wish to run with just that one shoe

 .

You teach with your shredded degree,

Words of motivation for others to inspire to

With a laser pointer pointed at your back,

You still tell others how they could find joy

 .

The worst of sinners wants to fight against you,

And still you have the thought of being his buddy

Your friends laugh when they lead you to fall,

Still you can just sit there and laugh with them

 .

We may have all our questions in mind and hand,

But our existence isn’t just an experiment of failure

It isn’t an observation of how bad our day turns into

No one can conclude for the worst in life

 .

Funny how life can lead us into tears,

Some about heartaches, mistakes, failures and stuff

But some tears are meant exclusively for joy,

And it is something that no one can ever take away

 .

A journey to happiness is just a fiction novel

That voyage does not and never will exist,

That is because happiness has always been here

Locked up in our hearts, waiting on us
