I want to be happy
An ode to happiness
I want to be happy,
but that kind of feeling comes at a cost.
I want to feel safe,
But I know that price that has yet to be paid.
I'm more than worth that kind of wait.
I want to heal,
But I benefit from being broken.
Broken beyond belief is a title suited for me.
I want to thrive,
And let myself live in some kind of peace.
I know that price that has yet to be paid.
I want to be safe,
But I know that cost,
that toll.
I'm telling you,
I'm worth that kind of wait.
I cut the others with all my broken edges,
But truth of the matter,
I just want to be happy.
I want to know what that feels like again.
I want to be happy.
Is that such a crime?
If it is,
To be happy in this lifetime
I must be more like a villain.
Because at what cost does my happiness come at?
What price can I put on this?
That is all I want to feel again.
Happy.
No matter what the price of it comes from.
