I am trying to find the title and author of a specific poem but I only know 1 line from the poem. I believe it goes like this, "this is the spring of my content". Contemnt may not be the right word, it may be existence. Please help!

That sounds like the first line of Shakespeare's "Richard III", "Now is the winter of our discontent..."

I need to know what kind of poem this is and where did it come from.
-"Look how highThe bluebird flies"Yeah, I've heard that line beforeTell me moreBe brilliantBe resilientLike you always areTell me moreIf you've got something to tellWell, lookit hereCould something realBe sitting behind your eyes?More liesMore nonsenseKeeping up the pretenseOf being someoneWorthwhileDon't smileIts not funnyYou're not stunning anyoneWith that spurious smileCould you be honestOr are you too far goneWith your verbose luggageAnd one foot out the door?Tell me moreOf what you knowTell me moreOf what you don't

Song Lyrics (a type of poem! )
The Spring of My Content by Flip Frisch:
It's the spring of my content - that's what I meant
And what a gift this hour is
I'd like to spend it all in one place, yes
Have my cake and eat it too, ice cream on the side
Oh sweet surprise, you feed my mind
But shall we have our dessert first? Yes
