Our Path To Happiness

Adults always say,
Don't let anything define you
But what are they doing?
What are we all doing?
We are letting one word
Eleven letters
Define us.

We are becoming scared
Self absorbed
Worrying only of our problems
Not thinking of others.
While stuck in our houses
We are pretending
That nothing is wrong.
We go about our buisness
Listening to stories
Of the outside world
But doing nothing ourselves.

If we are ever to create
A new spark
We need to first
Look into ourselves.
Find courage
Retreive kindness
Coax bravery to the surface
And most importantly
Spread a smile across our face.

Join me
Don't let a word define you
Do all you can
To help defeat 
What stands in our path
To happiness.
