Found

I felt like it was happiness that swelled and swirled in my soul

But as I dug deeper there was an impediment much worse, myself

That's when the battle began

The battle I struggled to avoid for so long

The monsters that were caged were let loose and sent to attack

I fought every day and night

I'm not grumbling, I'm simply telling my story

Instead of finding happiness I found myself

Dense, but I was determined

Dazed, yet I was dedicated

Hurt, however I continued

I continued to dig, each time revealing more of me

The pieces continued to fit together

An epiphany educated me

Why did I fight so hard to search for happiness

When the swell, swirl, and consumption of my soul set me free

I'm not reveling, I'm simply telling my story

I realize now that finding myself was happiness searching for me
