Happiness is simple. It’s not A bath too cold. Or one too hot. A late bill payment Or loosing your job. Prison for tax evasion. A day too sunny. A friend ‘not fussed’ Or even that funny. A day too dreary. Catching the bus Well... Almost ...Nearly. Having no one to trust. Sitting at home Under your covers Stressing so much You twitch and you stutter. Anxiety and pain When you think of a lover A feeling with no name As you cry and you mutter Worried words of weakness Wander through each thought Becoming almost breathless A depression that will rot. Happiness is simple?
