Happiness

You’re only truly happy when you don’t realize it.

Happiness

are you happy or are you just satisfied

satisfied to the point where you can’t help but feel happy inside

you decide

‘cause to me happiness isnt just satisfaction. but relief and stresslessness cause there’s no need to hide

Hide from the fears that make it so you can’t be happy inside

I say inside because that place is authentic no façade‘s or shit that’s phony

nothing but the truth and the whole whole truth like it’s a sworn testimony

Happiness can be love.

Ask Drake he knows. He was asking

I forgot her name. It’s was Riri? No. Cece? No TeeTee?

Nah He said, “Keke, do you love me?”

Do you love me?

Like she’s supposed to or something.

See Happiness isn’t a privilege

But at the same time it’s also not a right

A right

An unrevokable privilege that was given to you at the start of your life

You’re not born happy or evil or good or mad

you’re just born crying cause who the fuck told you I wanted to breath this air that gives me life

See happiness is innocence.

Like when I was 3 or 4. Back then you ask me 1+1 I had no clue what that meant

What’s sin I don’t know so there’s no need to repent

Unware of what money or music was I don’t care about 50 cent

But now I’m “happy” when I get that raise of 50 cents

It’s ironic

To be truly happy and go back to that age of innocence is merely a dream.

Nay

And not like the horse I mean no to the thought that it’s just a dream

Cause it’s not

It’s a lore.

But let’s stay on the topic of non fiction

Cause at the end of the day were talking about our lives our perspective our opinion and depiction

On what happiness is

It’s you. It’s Your perspective your opinion and your depiction.

You ARE happiness cause YOU choose what it means to yourself

It’s your world. And were all just living in it.

That is of course,

Until were not. And were back at peace…True innocence.

True,

Happiness.
