Happiness
When someone smiles they seem so happy,
But when the world seems to turn its back on you a smile disappears,
And now I only smile for one reason,
To see a friend who makes me feel like I matter,
Her smile makes me smile,
And her joy inspires me to create moving art,
But when she isn’t there fear engulfs me like a tsunami,
And without her my art and wisdom are criticized to great extreme,
I feel trapped like mail in a box,
But when she returns it feels like the storm has lifted,
A rainbow of beauty and a light for hope,
And my tears of pain will always turn to tears of joy,
When I wake up to see an angel of hope by my side,
And I hope that she will never have to leave,
Because as long as she stays I will protect her,
Because without inspiration an artist can’t create art,
And without art I am nothing,
Nothing without an angel of hope to inspire a young man,
A man just trying to find happiness when the world has turned it’s back,
When the smallest things in life can inspire a light of happiness,
The light of a white smile from an angel,
That is what can inspire great things,
Simply a smile of happiness.
