They say
That joy is not tangible
That it is something you feel
Not get.
But I have tangible joy
Though it does not
Bring me any
Despite
What it is.

I gulp it down
Everyday
In hope that it will
But it does not
Despite
What I think.

I do not tell others
That I have it
For what will they think
Of somebody who needs
To be given
Their own joy?
Though it does not
Bring me any
Despite
What I hope.

So
Despite
What it is
Despite
What I think
Despite
What I hope
Joy is not tangible.
