Are we happy?

  

What defines happy? Is it the riches and fame?

Or the solution to overcoming your pain

Or feeling that your mother is always there?

Or is it knowing whether or not your

Deadbeat father ever did care?



Is it touching the world and all of the elite?

Or touching that kid in the hood

About to be swallowed by the streets

Is it having that trophy wife when you become a star?

Or is it having that one who loves you for who you are

Is it false escapes or controlled highs?

Or maybe witnessing a breathtaking morning sky

Is it having a stable job with 401k?

Or being your own boss, scheduling your own day



Is it having many lovers? Be free and unattached?

Or is it finding your soul mate, that perfect match

Is it the person in the mirror you see?

Or is it the person that you would like to be?

I know material things can be a great form of wealth

But first it has to start with being satisfied with just ones self.
