Choosing happiness
Is supposed to feel good.
It’s supposed to be freeing,
And invite further happiness into your life.
But,
Instead it hurts.
Choosing happiness means
Letting go of something that
You thought
Made you happy.
It’s letting go of something
Sentimental,
Something that is close to
Your heart.
But it hurts instead.
It brings a dry, empty feeling
Because letting go
Hurts.
Letting go is something that nobody wants to do.
But it must happen
Because everything doesn’t last forever
And so does happiness.
It’s not forever,
So you must enjoy it while it lasts.
