This is more like a paragraph than the poem, but oh wells.
Happiness
Happiness is a myth,
A dream that was made
From figments of the imagination

Happiness never lasts,
Is only temporary, and
When you are in that state,
You always crave more and more.

There are always problems, struggles,
Answers that are not always so simple.

Some say the bliss that we all seek
Is taken in the form of ignorance.
Maybe we all should all be
Ignorant of the world around us?

Happiness may lay in the lives of others,
Knowing they can continue the
Quest to find what everyone seeks.

Happiness is one of mystery, of the unknown.
Think for one moment.
Are you truly happy, or are they just telling
You how to become it?
Only you can discover the true answer…

"The mind is a prison which torments until the day you die. One can only escape this meaningless life by embracing the eternal dreamless sleep that we call death."
