I am not sure that it is of the first importance that you should be happy. Many an unhappy man has been of deep service to himself and to the world.

In Life May You Be Happy
In life may you be happy and your biggest worry small
For one day the high and non achievers to the reaper's scythe must fall
And then to you it will not matter not one little bit at all
If you are one of the forgotten or others your fame recall,
In life may you be lucky and may you live free of care
And may you never know what it is like a heavy cross to bear
The happy and the carefree have never been so rare
And so many unhappy people in the bigger World out there
Though you may not be famous and your praises others may not sing
What matters if you're happy that's the most important thing
Money cannot buy you happiness ask that of the billionaire
And in a World of so many unhappy people the happy are so rare
In life may you be happy and good health may you enjoy
These are two very precious gifts that money cannot buy.

The cause has forefathers.
When happy, there is no stress.
When unhappy, there is.
To be happy or not traces to the cause,
But causes are in chain, endless.
Select the cause that suits and sooths.
You can avoid being unhappy.

When I smile
When I smile
Everybody thinks
I am happy
When I cry
Remain silent
Everybody thinks
I am unhappy
I fail to understand
Why I cannot smile
When I am unhappy
Why I cannot cry
When I am happy
I may be smiling
To reduce my misery
I may be crying
Out of emotions
When I am very happy

At Least, Everybody's Happy
I want you to be happy
Because if you happy
I will be happy too
I want you to feel happy
Because if you happy
I will feel peaceful
I want your happiness
Because if you happy
I won't need anything else
I want to see you happy
Because if you happy
I will not be forced to see you grieving
I want you to know happiness
Because if you happy
I will not disturb only by your sorrow
I want to hear that you're happy
Because if you happy
I should not listen to your unhappy story
I want you to find happiness
Because if you happy
I will not be chased by constant nightmare
I want you have a touch of happiness
Because if you happy
I could rip your ugly sad face with smile
I want to give you happiness
Because if you happy
I could take you from the darkness
I want you to taste happiness
Because if you happy
I must not swallow the bitterness
I want you realize that you have a right to be happy
Because if you happy
I won't be drowned in regret because ignorance

Unhappy Birthday
Ive come to wish you an unhappy birthday
Ive come to wish you an unhappy birthday
cause youre evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(but I wont cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually its nothing
Surely youre happy
It should be this way ?
I say no, Im gonna kill my dog
And : may the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight
Ive come to wish you an unhappy birthday
Ive come to wish you an unhappy birthday
cause youre evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(but I wont cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually its nothing
Surely youre happy
It should be this way ?
I said no
And then I shot myself
So, drink, drink, drink
And be ill tonight
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
Behind
Behind
Behind
Behind
Behind
Behind
Oh, unhappy birthday
Behind
Behind
Behind

People who've had happy childhoods are wonderful, but they're bland An unhappy childhood compels you to use your imagination to create a world in which you can be happy. Use your old grief. That's the gift you're given.

Life is Lovely
I’m doing my best to realise your ideal – I mean
being true to being unhappy, but I am surrounded
by dysfunctional people - who enjoy being happy
Rima is laughter personified, Christine thinks life
is lovely, just for her to be amused and surprised
Hanlie insists on making the world beautiful with her
wonderful being, June is delighted with her house in
Gordon’s Bay, Martin is satisfied with the ideals he
sees being realised by two amazing kids following
his advice, my daughter shines in movie treats
My son dreaming big; at the office everyone breaks
out in smiles, I am really trying to get in touch with
my inner pain but it eludes me at present, though
I shall not give up in trying to reach the depths
of despair you prescribe, in deference to your
Amazing ability to find unhappiness behind every
happy façade, I am so glad you kindly informed
me how unhappy everyone has been and how
deeply mortified everyone should be once they
realize the pain in their hearts – yet right now
I am going with the flow of dysfunctional people
all being so happy they don’t even know how
terribly unhappy YOU know them to be, just
know I am working on it…

Dear Lord
For sometime I have been unhappy
and my life seems to be all in vain.
No matter what I do I’m unhappy;
have I only myself to blame?
I have no desire to be rich or famous
I’d just like to be happy and content.
Am I to be one of the losers in life
and have to wait for joy to be sent?
Do you consider me not yet worthy?
Is my faith seriously in doubt?
Am I not a good enough person?
Does my character not shout out?
These questions remain unanswered
and I ask them of myself everyday.
Tomorrow I’m going to smile at the world
and maybe make someone else’s day.

Unhappy Cause
I'm unhappy cause my dad's an alcoholic and my mom's a side stripper.Unhappy cause my daddy moved on from my birth mom now I've got a step mom.Unhappy when she calls me these cruel things, they're so mean, it makes me want to scream.
Unhappy to be here this day..
wishing it would end someway!

My Unhappy Anniversary
You ask me, how am I?
Well I'm still standing, aren't I?
That's something, that's one thing , that's gone my way
It's so hard, to go out, like everything ok now
When inside, I still cry for yesterday
This is my unhappy anniversary! !
But I lie, saying it's just another day
This is my unhappy anniversary! !
I know it's so stupid to feel brokenhearted
I wonder if you know just how much I hurt
I drink up and think up a toast to numb the hours
To get through without you is so hard today
Cause it's unhappy anniversary! !
And now it's near midnight, a few minutes and I
Return to get back to my former life
Pretending our ending was not so bad, I know that
It's time to escape you until next year
When it's unhappy anniversary! !
This is my unhappy anniversary
But I smile like it's just another day
It's just my unhappy anniversary

Each of us owes it to our spouse, our children, our friends, to be as happy as we can be. And if you don't believe me, ask a child what it's like to grow up with an unhappy parent, or ask parents what they suffer if they have an unhappy child.
