Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decide to see beyond the imperfections.

Slowly I take my food with a spoon.
I think that all I want to do I go to the moon.
Everything is monotony.
People eat spoon after moon.
Everything is so predictable.
We sit. We eat. We leave.
Small talk with a couple of laughs,
But no real care in each other’s lives.
Everything is monotony.
I want to go to the moon.
But I eat my food with spoon.

The author's comments:
I wrote this thinking how some people always want to achieve something, but they decide to stay with the same routine day after day. Not doing ones best because it's easier to stay with the sameness of life.

If you want something reach for it. It's like how people say: "Reach for the moon. That if you fall, you'll fall among the stars."
