Longing is the beat of my heart
Unhappiness is the road from where I depart
Truth lingers underneath the ruble of lies
Everyday a part of me dies

Desire is the beat of my heart
While things I cannot change tare me apart
Inside a conflict arises so deep
The mountains I climb are ever so steep
This road I walk alone
In pursuit of happiness; of things to call my own

Challenge is the beat of my heart
I can see the victory from afar
Pounding in my chest for excitement of what’s to come
Leaving behind things that have left me undone

Victory is the beat of my heart
My life is the creators best work of art
Arriving at the destination of my hearts desires
All my life I have walked on fire
I arrive at the conclusion; happiness is a journey, not a destination
I could’ve avoided the confusion; it’s all in the outlook, the optics and visualization.
