Where happiness lies

Day after day it all seemed to get worse
Depression came over me.
I stopped caring, I was a miserable person
I didn’t want to continue this life

My mom realized quickly
Of my change in moods
She asked what was wrong
I told her I have no clue

I told her of some feelings
Then she quickly saw
I tried to find happiness in others
But that’s not where it hides

She told me wise information
That made a lot of since
She said I had to look somewhere else
In side myself instead

I told her it was not possible
There was nothing there
She said it’s all in my mind
To look deeper in

So as I tried to see what was wrong
I started to find my self
I realized what made me happy
And I kept to that side of me

It took awhile to realize and see
That my happiness wasn’t from other
And all I had to do was try
Now that I found happiness, I live a good life
