Listen up!I chose happiness.And so can you.Choose satisfaction over sufferingChoose content over conflictChoose passion over paradigm Choose working on it over getting worn downI saw a vision of a future meA sniveling sycophant groping, choking, groveling shit-shoveler scheming his way to the middle overvalued and unimportant taking punishment as payment grateful and godforsakenAnd I chose happiness.I got a phone call last week from another meHe's running six years late and his car broke down somewhere in the middle of holy-crap-how'd-i-get-here so, could I pick him up? And I chose happiness.My childhood sent me a Facebook messageAsking what happenedSongtexte why'd I change I you we used to be different He wants to join the school paper so he can call someone ?Chief? He wants to start a rock band, he wants to be a rabbi, he wants to study garbage or rocksHe wants to make art, write books, play house, be cool, be smart, make friends, grades and the teamHe wants to be a cartoon character, he wants to be a super heroBased on that checklist, I'm something of a failureIt's not a bad read on the situationI certainly failed to meet my own expectationsWhen I chose happiness.And so can you.
