Steps to Happiness
1.wake up
2.eat
but not too much
don’t be a pig
3.do something
you’re not lazy
4.be with society
they can’t know what you feel
5.go home
6.don’t cry
forget it - cry
these are the steps in a day.
don’t forget to look happy,
or put on the mask so they won’t see
you’re dying
you’re dying
but why won’t anyone help?
“oh she’s just faking”
I’M NOT FAKING
they’re blinded by their own feelings
they don’t know what i feel
no one does
i’m alone
...
so alone

I would think putting away the mask might be a great step towards Happiness.
Happiness is not something we have and hold onto 24/7
but to even catch a smidgen, we have to at least be < real > to ourselves.
Interesting format --
almost an outline (I wrote a poem like an outline once -- I'll share it with You if I can locate it.)

I try to put the mask away, but it seems that some people don't want to see the real me. Thank you for the hope, though. (And I would love to read your poem.)
