On a Quest

I went in search for happiness
But only found pain.
And the misery I cannot explain.
The joy I requested was not what I received,
It got all complicated when:
Deception had me deceived.
The case was closed and the ball from my court
I could not judge,
But when my problems locked me up,
I fell in bondage. But i fought to hold on, conquer, and receive
Because after-all,
Happiness is what i want,
Need,
And I am willing to succeed by achieving success.
Or do just about anything else to get rid of my stress.  

I cannot over-express this stress and stress this

 That my strength lies in my deepest weakness.
