L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Unhappiness Is a Drag

Unhappiness is such an unnecessary drag
It pulls one down to the depths of despair,
Not something about which one will brag
Unhappiness is such an unnecessary drag,
Disgusting as a limp, damp old wash rag
If someone is unhappy, I really do care,
Unhappiness is such an unnecessary drag
It pulls one down to the depths of despair.

Caren Krutsinger December 28, 2021 at 4:07 AM I have lots of friends who take "happy pills" prescribed by their doctors, because they have chemical imbalances. It works for many of them.

Some depression, I think, is self-induced!
