Happy Later

I’m hanging by a thread that never seems to go away

Just waiting for a change

I know I’ll be happy later

That’s what they always say

But I’m tired of waiting for later

And so are you

But you must soldier on cause happiness does come

Sometimes fleeting sometimes lasting

It looks like everyone’s got it all figured out

But I promise you at least half those people are deeply broken inside

And they’re no happier than you

They’re just like you

Good at putting on a face

A brave face

But its nothing but a mask hiding their fears and hurts

Their wounds and traumas

The thread will break one day and you’ll be able to finally hit the ground

That’s when you’ll truly start to live

But sometimes

Its all got to come crashing down before you find the way down

Back from the pedestal you’re trying to climb on

Cause that’s where you think like will be great

But like on a pedestal is no greater than anywhere else

Because pedestals are meant to be toppled down

Along with the people on them
