Crying's a weakness, she told me so

But I can't help it, when thing I most aspire to be

Slips right through my hands

But David's here, Whitney too

So many inspirations I could never meet

Though I know in my soul

They'll be with me every step of the way (they always have been)

Never once have they let me down

They brought me my one aspiration

But what is happiness, truly?

True happiness cannot be wrapped

In pretty paper and bows

Nor can it be bought

I suppose it comes from deep within

Deep within your heart, mind and soul

It's only now I'm learning,

That it's okay to be afraid

It's okay to be sad

It's okay to cry

It's okay to be mad at the world

It's okay to embrace your disabilities

It's okay, because you are human

And there is not one human being

On the face of this Earth

That is perfect, and saint-like

In fact, we're all a bunch of sinners

But it's the people who want to change, who want forgiveness

That go straight to heaven

I think I know what happiness to me is now

It's my family

My animals

My friends

My teachers

The countless amount of people who are always kind to me

And most importantly,

It's the love and respect I have for myself

No matter how many times I think negatively about myself,

No matter how many times I shame myself for my body,

No matter how many times I wish I was "normal",

No matter how many times Life kicks me down,

No matter how sad I am,

At the end of the day, I realize just how amazingly unique I am

How blessed I am

That is happiness to me
