I'm not happy when I'm writing, but I'm more unhappy when I'm not.

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

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.

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

If I Can Go On Writing Poems
IF I CAN GO ON WRITING POEMS
If I can go on writing poems
I will be happy-
If I cannot go on
I will lose something of myself-
I wonder how long I will be able to go on
Days? Years? How long exactly?
I write happily now
A poem I know I can post-
Without that I might be less happy about it-
If I can go on writing poems
This will be a sign I still have hope in life-
When I am stopped or stop
Will it mean I am finished
As a person also?

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.

The Land Of Happy
Have you been to the land of happy,
Where everyone's happy all day,
Where they joke and they sing
Of the happiest things,
And everything's jolly and gay?
There's no one unhappy in Happy
There's laughter and smiles galore.
I have been to The Land of Happy-
What a bore

I Come Alive In Writing
I come alive in writing
Even if the writing means nothing to anyone else-
I come alive in writing
Even if I am totally deluding myself as to its value-
I come alive in writing
Even if at times while writing there is an underlying hopelessness and despair -
I come alive in writing
As if writing is what God has given me to do-
I come alive in writing
As if through it I can truly give to and help others-
I come alive in writing
As if life has meaning through it-
I come alive in writing
Even when I sense the writing is not good or great
As I would wish it to be.

I Wish I Was…
I wish I were William Shakespeare
I’d be very happy writing plays,
Seeing them on the stage,
Making my audience laugh and cry.
Writing about some dark lady
I think to be a Muse.
That’d be alright for me.
I wish I were John Lennon
I’d be very happy making music,
Being a poet and a philosopher;
Playing the piano all night.
But I’d give anything up for love.
Give up everything for Yoko.
Hmmm, maybe not.
I wish I was Samwise Gamgee
I’d live a life as happy as could be,
Apart from the business with
Frodo and the Ring,
I’d be happy with living
In Bag End, in Hobbiton, in the Shire.
I’d live a life as happy as could be.
I could wish all I’d like,
But I’d never be any of them,
So for now I am happy being me.

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

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…

What Will You Do Today?
What will you do today?
Sorry to hear your unhappy.
What is wrong? Your on holiday.
Nothing much to do no money?
Broke? Spent a lot of money
you did not have this summer?
Still paying for it? This is life.
The money is gone spent
for choices reasons made.
This makes you unhappy?
Enough for each day its own evil.
Have you not many blessings
to be grateful for? Carpe Diem.
Oh yes, I have. I do not have
a problem with this, another
here can’t seem to live within
our means and be happy.
Working on that too.
“Happy are those conscious
of their spiritual need,
since the kingdom of the
heavens belongs to them.
“Happy are those who mourn
since they will be comforted.
“Happy are the mild-tempered ones,
since they will inherit the earth.
“Happy are those hungering
and thirsting for righteousness,
since they will be filled.
“Happy are the merciful,
since they will be shown mercy.
“Happy are the pure in heart,
since they will see God.
“Happy are the peaceable,
since they will be called ‘sons of God.’
“Happy are those who have been
persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
since the kingdom of the heavens
belongs to them.
“Happy are YOU when people reproach
YOU and persecute YOU
and lyingly say every sort of wicked
thing against YOU for my sake.
“Rejoice and leap for joy, since YOUR reward
is great in the heavens; for in that way
they persecuted the prophets prior to YOU.” Matthew 5: 3-12.
Thus spoke Jesus after he went up
into the mountain and sat and began
teaching his (talmidim) disciples. Matthew 5: 1-2.
Blessed are all who follow these sacred teachings.
