Much ado about happiness



What do you know about happiness
when you haven’t really experienced
being truly loved?
What do you know about happiness
when you are living a life
you’ve created for your own,
 a reality that you’ve tried building
like you would a sandcastle in the beach?
What do you know about happiness
When what you have is a world
Where you make yourself believe
Everything is perfect?
What do you know about happiness?
Have you experienced the magic
And mysteries that go along with it?
Have you experienced the depth
Of its meaning in the pains
And struggles of not wanting to be alone?
Have you ever been lonely,
Rejected, abandoned, ridiculed,
Thrown away in the streets
And then found by someone
Who didn't require so much
But just took you in?
There is so much about happiness
That you do not know.
Because what you have is a shallow existence
Defined by the brand of your shoes
And the color of your lipstick
Or the model of your phone.
Tell me about happiness
When you have truly experienced love
And understood its magic.
Only then will I listen to you.
