Happy or sad
Just like the automatic response we all give when asked
How are you?
I’m fine is what follows
The day brings mornings full of hollows
In this abyss I won’t be like others
I’m different
Well as for me
Happy or sad
Sad is what I will say
Happiness and sadness are just like wealth and poverty
Look through the window and we see a lot of happy people
Truth is everyone can’t be happy
Just like everyone can’t be rich
Until I get my piece of the cake
I guess I’ve accepted my faith
So yes I’m sad and it’s okay
Just like the poor hope for some wealth
I do hope for some happiness
But even without it
I’m satisfied with the peace this sadness brings.
