HAPPINESS
Happiness is a myth, that I've just learned
Only to be happy is all that I've yearned
Since Iwas born I have been cursed
I felt like a sow's ear made from a silk purse
I was put on this earth just so God could measure
How much man could take of pain, sorrow, and pressure
All of my life I've been taunted and scorned
I kept fighting back thou I was blooding and torn
My body and soul have been in constant battle
When I'd claw to the top I was shot from the saddle
I once thought I'd grasp happiness and love
Her arms would incircle me and fit like a glove
I reveled with glee in this new found bliss
Forever wanting her touch or just one more kiss
I thought I had finally won at this game
But once again I was left beaten and lame
She withdrew her arms, her lips no longer kissed
For her love was gone and I wouldn't be missed
But I am no quitter! OH NO NOT I
I'll keep on searching and fighting til I die
I've heard that in death there's peace everlasting
But til that time comes; I'll just keep on BLASTING. Jeffrey Edward Franklin
