Why is happiness?

by Jessica   Jan 8, 2006


Why is happiness
So hard to keep
I smile for a second
And cry for an hour
Does a war rage
Inside my heart
For what I feel
or is life just like that?
I wish my smile
would remain
and my sadness
would depart
but no flights
go out tonight
so here I sit
with tears in my eyes
and a heart heavy
with a sadness
that exceeds all hope
and all pain.

    Such sorrow expressed with such grace; a beautiful poem, and one which touched me deeply. I hope that one day your sadness will flee before the light of true happiness.
    Highest Praises,
