My Kind of Happiness

Happiness can be mined from deep within
Not in faces designed with a curved skin
Dig up! Reach out down through the deep
Till the giants fall out of sleep
And the skin curves not out of impression
Dig up! Till the dirt covers depression.

Wake up and swallow the ugliest frog
Not minding the bed plea, head to the fog
Buckle up! Always steer the bull
From left to right with little pull
Get work done faster, beat the running clock
Buckle up! The way out is just a knock.

Mine is not defined by any event
Yes! Sometimes i would cry, it’s just life’s rent
Dry up my tears when i feel full
Even the sun loves a wet wool
Life happens; the sun shines, the rain would come
Dry up! You are what you choose to become.
