I want to be happy

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.
