When happiness is achieved, <br />Is it more perceived than is received? <br />Does it have to be something that comes from outside? <br />Does it have to be delivered? <br />Or generated from inside? <br />I often wonder why some aren't satisfied, <br />By pursuits attempted or challenges tried! <br />It can't be all about things that brings a smile! <br />Or a certain lifestyle lived without denial. <br />There has to be a comfort in accepting 'who' one is! <br />Something that allows someone to feel 'lifted' and positive! <br />When happiness is achieved... <br />It can be seen in someone's face! <br />That's my goal and mission in my life... <br />As I eliminate all bullshit that's erased!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
