I hated it when they said
"happiness is a choice"
it didn't feel like it, not for me
it was impossible to be happy
I tried and tried but my mind
wouldn't let me at all
I resented people who told me
this, "happiness is a choice"
no it isn't, I dare say now
it is not always a choice
but what i've learned now
is happiness is not a choice
but choosing to try to heal
and to try and get better, happier
that is a choice.

- Comment from author about the poem: I resented the girl who told me this, long summer camps ago, "I firmly believe that happiness is a choice," and everyone praised her so. Later when I had a panic attack, flashback, she did try to comfort me. But I knew she wouldn't understand, happiness was not a choice. She thought I was homesick, I couldn't tell the truth.
