Be Happy

by Peter Williams   Jun 28, 2005


You said to me...
"Be happy"
Is it that simple?
Is it that easy?
To put on a smile,
And laugh your hardest.
Smiles only hide the truth,
Laughter only hides the scars.
I'm through with hiding my emotions,
I'm through with pretending to be something that I'm not.
Take this stake from off my heart,
And see my world fall apart.
"Be happy"
I was...
A long time ago...
Before the weight of the world crushed my heart and soul.
I was happy.
I bottle up my feelings deep inside,
Where no one can see them,
Where no one can see my tears.
In the growing darkness,
Light appears.
A single candle,
That once was strong,
But now it is dying...
Fading,
Into the gust of wind where it belongs.
"Be happy"
It's not that simple,
It's not easy.
Happiness is something one can't achieve,
Happiness is something that is only given.
I give out happiness,
But received none.
Now I give out sadness,
And I've only just begun.
"Be happy"
No...
