Don'T Be So Happy

What if happiness were Like sadness Happiness would come instantly And it would linger The happiness would creep and lurk in your body For as long as it wanted Happiness would loom over you Clinging itself to you Like a spider's web to the back to the foot of the fly Happiness would chill your bones And you would have to wrap yourself in blankets To melt away the happy You would be in bed anyway Too happy to do anything Too happy to care how you look Too happy to try to look better Too happy to even think that you could look better Countless times you would complain to your friends About being happy To the point where they're sick of hearing how happy you are You're embarrassed of your happiness You will try to talk yourself sad You can control being happy You can will yourself to not be happy anymore And even if you are successful For the moment The happiness will find you again
