Happiness

So I hear my poems are depressing...so i'll try something new

I will try to start this one off happy
Happy for all the things i've been through
I say i'm happy but really im sad
When I think of those things I go mad

But I know its not right to feel that way
So instead I think of happy thoughts
To try to make it go away

Happy I have friends and I am blessed to know them
Friends like Victoria, Brent, Hannah, Amos and Jo
Katie, Allison, Kelley, Caroline and more
When I think of people like them I can't help but smile
Friends like them make all this s... worthwhile

I can be happy I have a family
Happy that we arent worse off
Happy that we kinda live in harmony

I don't know what else to do
I do know what else to say
So i'll leave with this

I have incredible friends
I have an incredible family
And that alone should make me happy anyday
