Happiness Is Illness
This new passion, I’ve been surprised.
Throughout my life, I’ve been advised.
That joy, I should never seek.
That my interests should never peak.
That pain is the only thing I should never restrict.
That a life of depression does not mean I’m sick.
That happiness is actually a painful condition.
That is like a dream that will go into remission.
