Happy
Short lived
But
Happy, am I not?
The air hums
With the sound of my laughter
Yet in the glint of silence
truth creeps in
Begging me to see
To give it a chance

You must ignore it
Look the other way
Be happy, they say
that’s all that matters
My friend

Are you not comfortable my dear?
with worried eyes they ask
But what about
No
Don’t finish the thought

Just be happy
Happy
Happy
Happy

But at the cost
of my
Soul
