The drug we call pure happiness

My thoughts on Pure Happiness

Pure happiness doesn't come often for me

When it does its like Christmas morning when I was three

Not caring that it's 6 am and my parents are asleep

But charging in their room and jumping on their feet

When it comes, it doesn't stay long

It sings like a bird but quickly flies off

Becuase it was startled and realized it was not alone

Sorrow creeps in and kicks happiness off of its throne

My face loses its smile

My laughs are dry

No emotion on my face but a tear in my eye

As fast as it comes, faster it goes

Like masking the pain with Advil

It wears off

Except with this, I don't have a jar of

I have to wait till my face lights with joy

Until then I'm stuck agitated and coy
