The happiest people really are the saddest

The most helpful usually are in the direst need  

But we don't want to cause a ruckus

So rather than against the current we flow with it

Whether the flow makes us sad, anxious, or depressed - we go with it

Because that's what happy people do

We don't dare make life more difficult for others when we're drowning in sorrow

Or make an effort to dim a light when were afraid of the dark ourselves

‘You’re always so happy’ - I hear it constantly

But if they really took the time to look – they'd see a mask plastered on for 18 hours of the day

(I only sleep for six)

No wonder I’ve always been afraid of clowns.
