Today I've realized something.
I haven't been myself lately
I've been so selfish
Thinking only about my problems.
Only wanting to be be happy no matter what
But I've realized today.
When I saw my loved ones they were laughing and smiling
They're happy..
Why would I sacrifice their happiness
for my own?
Am I really that cruel
i may want to be happier
But I'm not miserable
as long as you let people hear that laugh of yours"
as long as you keep that beautiful smile on your face
as long as your happy
so am i..

This is an interesting turn on the challenge I gave in the contest. You really are happy for them, despite everything.. I think this is the revelation I wait for after the quote. The only thing I would change is that there are a few typos here and there, for instance in the line "i may want to be happier" the I should be capitalized, and in "as long as you let people hear that laugh of yours"" There is a unneeded quotation mark at the end of the line. Overall though, I highly enjoyed this one.
