It’s easy to lie in anguish,
Demolished and depressed.
To let it all diminish
To dwindle, self-oppressed.
The real challenge lies
In finding good despite it all
To break out from the old disguise,
To let it go, build up, stand tall.
True Happiness will not be discovered,
Unless you go in search by day and night.
Even a smile can be hard to uncover
If you aren’t willing to put up the fight.
Imagine how much better it would be
If we all suddenly stopped the contempt,
And shared with each a smile free
it won’t cure the pain, but at least it’s an attempt.
