Happiness

My morning thoughts.

Happiness
By Valerie Maldonado

If you want happiness
Look deep within
Wrestle the demons
That stand at the gate
of your heart
After all, you put them there
Step inside and reflect
On all that made you happy
Before life's unexpected detours
Reach deep and focus
On what truly brings you joy
The demons will try and distract
Look them in the eyes
Your eyes
Then acknowledge their need
To protect you and keep going
Look deep into your heart
You'll find happiness inside
Its always been there
Beneath the surface, waiting
For you to remember
Happiness begins within
Others can contribute
Can make your joy grow
But true happiness starts
With your decision
To let the demons go
