Happiness Is (Orignal Song)

A song I wrote about being Transgender and how it feels to be confined in the wrong body, consumed by worry and sadness. This is about keeping true to yourself and not giving up.

(Verse 1) When you lock yourself inside

You don't know where you are

And sometimes

The future is so far

When I open up my eyes

All I see is pain

And most days,

It all feels the same

(Chorus)

If you ever wonder if you've got it bad,

You're not alone, I was once so sad,

And maybe one day I'll break out of this

That's what happiness is

(Verse 2)

When I swallowed up my pride,

It crushed me and my heart,

When you have to pretend,

To be someone you aren't

When I looked into the mirror,

I held from screaming back,

I'd look to my friends,

Because they were all I had

(Chorus)

If you ever wonder if you've got it bad,

You're not alone, I was once so sad,

And maybe one day I'll break out of this

That's what happiness is

Someday I said I'd change

No longer hide what I know was there,

Some time we all will grow,

And some will never know

So glance again,

Think twice,

Never let yourself down,

That's what happiness is
