A poem about the pursuit of happiness
I am looking for happiness

Somewhere under this heated sun
Lies the blessed oasis
I know it
But where shall I look
I am not the only one on this quest
I am not the only one who has tried
And those who have tried before
Were more qualified to find it than I
And still, they failed

Where
Where is it
Where does this world reside
And how do I get there

My throat grows parched
Beneath the sun
And I grow desperate in my search
As the sun begins to set
And the light blows out on this desert
But I will not stop

In darkness, I tread
In light, I will run
For days on end, I will search every grain of sand
Even if I have to turn the desert upside down
To find it

I am looking for happiness
And I will never stop
Though the quest continues
And the body grows old
I will never stop

I will never stop
