Living Should Mean Happiness

why do we give up on that

life is easy when you're young

every day is filled with fun

you can still exist intensely

you take your friends to the grave

life matters more

days shine bright

when something is wrong we still fight

emotions are a new experience

and not just an inconvenience

they are worth feeling

feeling love transcends believing

sadness still breaks your heart

misfortune is not yet business as usual

happiness is not a novelty

but a thing we demand from living

why can't life freeze when we're still happy

when we're still chasing dreams

when the world still makes us wonder

when the future still sounds like an adventure

uncertainty is still exciting

new things haven't become frightening

we still want things just to want them

growing up isn't worth it
