We Are Paradoxical.

Life is an endless search for something more,
Something that we don't have today,
But if you live that way,
You waste it all away,

I followed the tenants of humanity,
You know those ones about happiness as a lifestyle,
Things went different than I expected,
Too good to be true,
I ended up face down in a liquid pool of my unhappiness,
Ironical,
My perception has got a foul sense of humor,
It sure does love walking me in circles.

We aren't told that happiness is only temporary,
That emotions don't last forever,
But the truth is hard to say,
Even harder to live by,
It's a mistake to expect forever happiness,
Unless you are interested in being in the train wreck crash called delusion,

My memory must be skipping,
Wisdom,
Where did you go,
I fell into an obsession with happiness,
Without any second thought,
Unsurprisingly, dope-amine became my addiction,
Happiness my affliction,
It became all that I was,
And as soon as I was torn away from my dope lover,
Withdrawal took a hold of my personality and hid it far away,
My eyes are working but I can't see,
What's wrong and right,
And who the fuck am I?

Enough is never enough,
Settling for less is not an option plausibly,
The real realism is this insane irrational emotionality we all posses,
Paradoxical,
Yes, that's me,
A hereditary destiny stamped into my dna.
