 See the world through my eyes

I choose to be happy


I hold onto every bit of happiness,
not wanting to let happiness slip away.
That is really hard to do,
when you are facing problems each day.

Wanting to always smile,
trying not to let my smile fade away.
Not wanting others to see my pain,
or the sadness I carry each day.

It's hard when you want to be happy,
but life always lets you down.
I simply refuse to wipe off this smile,
and replace it with a depressing frown.

I will face each day as a new day,
and welcome change every day that I live.
This heart might be torn and tattered,
but there is so much in life I can give.

So I will walk around with a smile,
and let go of burdens that weigh down on me.
I choose to live my life and be happy,
it's the way life was meant to be.
