But why can't your poems be happy they said Well they can be But why should they be? My fathomage of contemplation dives deeper than societally accepted but I don't want to be societally accepted That's why I came here. Go to your party and sing happy songs And make happy conversation And dream happy thoughts And cry not so happy tears, when the happiness that was packed so tightly into the palms of your fists dissipates and leaves you shattered. For my fists are open And my words are spoken And my poetry may not be happy or grace But it sure leaves a smile on my face
