I hate when people say
to be happy
like it’s a switch
that you can just turn on.
Happiness isn’t something
you can just be;
it’s a feeling that
sometimes you can’t control.
But usually it is a choice
you must make daily;
you must completely
reverse your thought process.
It isn’t a simple change,
but it is possible to do
if you count your blessings
and face your fears with hope.
