Happiness Poem by Justin Reamer

Happiness is something,
That I can hold onto,
For it is the greatest feeling,
That I have ever felt in life.

I am glad that I feel it now,
Since it is so great a feeling,
And is better than
Anything else I have felt.

I have not always felt happiness,
For I have been depressed for
Ten long years,
Feeling nothing but sadness.

However, happiness is
A great feeling that
I could probably
Not live without.

Happiness lets me know
That there are people
Out there who care
About me,
And that I do not
Have to worry about
Being lonely or
Down-trodden
In any way
At all.

Happiness lets me know
That the world
Is great
And filled with great
Things and great
People, and many
Great opportunities
Out there that I can see.

It also lets me
Know that I have my friends
Who can back me up
Whenever I feel sad or lonely,
And that they will help
Me with any problems I have.

Happiness also lets me know that
I have my family at my side
Every step of the way,
So that they can help me
In my times of trouble,
For I know they will be there.

Happiness is a great feeling,
And that is something I cannot
Live without,
And I am happy to live this way,
Knowing that I have joy
In my life,
And that I can count on everyone
Who lives around me.
