Truly Happy

If you had everything you wished for,
Would you really want it after you had it?
If you never had sadness,
Would you know what happiness is?
If you never experienced loss,
Would it feel as good to win?
If you never had heart break,
Would you know what true love is?
Everyday people takes things for granted,
And wish their lives away.
Everyone needs a little bad luck,
Just to know what good luck is.
