 Happy?


Sometimes happy

sometimes not

sometimes it's so fuckin easy, but sometimes it's so very hard

when it's hard, I just want to chuck it all, to hell with it

when it's easy, I'm happy, and I can't imagine why I would have wanted to throw it away completely

I just want to be happy

why can't I be happy?

I'm never happy enough, nothing is ever good enough

is it?

But it's the hard days that push you to something better

even as they destroy the things you have

when is half good

half bad?

and vice versa?

When do you know to really give up, or really fight through?

Both are real, but which is more real?
