“Be happy”
That’s what mummy said
“Be happy”
How can I be happy
I have never known
No
I have never felt happy before
Be Happy
You can’t be what you don’t understand
What you can’t grasp?
What eludes you?
How can I be happy
When all I see does not cause me to smile
When I see sad faces everywhere I turn
Don’t fake it
I read between the line
I see the smile
I feel what you feel
I hear the tears fall from your heart
I hurt the way you hurt
I’m waiting for the bus to happiness
Its taking its time
You have to wonder
Faulty parts?
An accident?
I’m waiting…patience isn’t exactly my time
I’m waiting
Just like the legions of people behind me
Who would get in first?
