Waiting for happiness

I'm waiting in a long line
To get happiness and leave
So then I can be happy
And no longer grieve

Or be sad about the past
Or worried about the future
Or...I'd rather not go there
Because I'm unsure

I'm unsure about the present
That I do know to be true
I'm unsure of how to be happy
As I know we all are too

So, I'm waiting in this line
To get happiness and leave
So then I can be happy
And no longer have my heart on my sleeve

But the line is so long
And my feet are getting tired
I don't feel the best
I'm starting to feel perspired

But I continue waiting in this long line
And it finally comes to my turn
A smile creeps up on my face
Glad that, for this, I yearned

I ask for happiness from a lady
Who happens to lack it
It seems she didn't find it anywhere
She didn't find a good fit

She asks me my information
And I give it to her
I stand there smiling
In a coat made of fur

She searches up my information
And comes up blank
I tell her I did this already
I already went to the "bank"

I already filled in my information
They said it's all okay
I came here to get happiness
Not to be forgotten today

She says tough luck
And then says next
I walk out feeling confused
And a little vexed

Why me, I ask?
I hoped I'd find happiness here
Why did this happen to me?
I thought I'd finally cheer

Someone came over to me
And told me a little secret
Happiness can only be found
Inside this leaflet

I opened it up
And there it said
Happiness can only be found
In your head

Happiness can only be found within
Which shocked me to the core
How did I not know this?
I should have known this before!

Obviously, happiness comes from within
Not from without
How did I not know this?
I gave a happy shout!

I finally found happiness
Or something close to it
I finally found happiness
And I'll be happy soon, bit by bit
