I’m still here
Don’t you feel my presence?
People always say
There’s a thin line
Between happiness and joy
But baby you brought it
And I don’t think I ever truly felt it
Until you held me
But you’re gone now
And so is it
The light
That you helped to ignite
And I’m not alright
I literally see you everywhere
In everything I do
I can’t escape you
It’s like the universe doesn’t want me t...
I just want to be happy
You hear that all the time
But is that something to chase?
Something fleeting, no solid base?
The pursuit of happiness
Is external, unsustainable
Fleeting moments, may make you smile
Maybe the feeling stays a while
But joy is being content,
A much harder mission
There are many ways to feel happy
But left neglected, there’ll be a joy division
If you want it easy, you’ll ...
Music has always been the answer
In the moment, nothing else matters
Get lost in the sounds, the lyrics
Lose control and become the music, Holy Spirit
There are many artists, that have influenced and are special to me

Lines are drawn across the board,
They keep order we prove to need.
Lines are sprawled across the field,
In hopes to stop the players greed.
Lines are everywhere, up and down,
The world holds them in.
Lines are in our thoughts, our minds,
Between the bright and dim.
Lines between emotions exist,
Most famous love and hate.
Lines are between good and bad,
Too early and too late.
Lines appear with...
There’s a greek word called “Eudaimonia”
that refers to a “good spirit”
Some might call it “happiness”
but that doesn’t even come near it
Happiness is ephemeral,
a slave to circumstance
It’s a roll of dice in your day-to-day,
an emotion left to chance
“Good spirit” is a lifestyle
a joy that’s everlasting
It’s found in an eternal hope
that lives beyond your passing
It’s hard to live in steadfast jo...
Happiness comes as giddy
sense,
multiple forms;
mixtures of pink a yellow,
a soft sigh,
bubbles of laughter,
completely in the moment,
quiet waves lapping at your
feet contently.
Joy comes as a wildfire,
quickly overwhelming,
mostly surprise,
anything but quiet.
Don’t get them confused
Joy comes with a quick fuse,
Joy comes with a punch,
Happiness would rather not....
