HAPPY
R.J. Bernard 2007 (Massachusetts)
Woke up so well, saying today will be a great day
I am still to be wrong; I hope I right
The only time I hope I'm right
I'll be the first to admit I haven't been perfect
Sometimes I can't admit when I do right
I get nervous sometimes for no reason
But I must find a way to be happy
Awaking up in the light has shown me
That I can learn to be happy
That I can lean to be happy
That I can learn to be happy
I aint praying to a god for this, I aint lying to myself for this, I aint talking about how I feel.
I have no excuses
Living in my own mind, isn't ideal but it'll work for now
Truth is I need to spill the beans and talk but trusting isn't something I do much
Counting the days when some of my friends leave me, either because of my mouth or the lack of it.
Half the time I can't say words because my mind gets overwhelmed,
Who would I be if I was happy?
Id probably make less jokes about the people I lost, id floss more,
Take care of myself properly
Get rid of my thoughts in my head, and find a way to be happy
