Poems For The Lover And The Loner

Happiness

Happiness.

What is happiness?

Is it just a concept untouched and neglected by humankind?

Or is it something humans long to attain and look for in material objects?

No-

It's much more than that... right?

Maybe it's that fuzzy feeling you get when you see the person you love,

or the warm touch of the Sun's rays dancing over your skin on a lovely summer day.

Or maybe it's smiling and laughing after sobbing alone for hours.

Without pain, there is no joy.

without

the crying until you can't anymore

the heartbreaks

the tragedy and death and hatred.

there would be no

laughing until you can't breathe

or falling in love and being loved back.

And no celebration or life or affection

happiness takes time.

but it's your choice to live long enough to experience it.
