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?

It is not.
