Various Degrees of Happiness

Some may find me annoying As my eyes open to the day with a smile Some may think I'm faking When I'm laughing as the rain drizzles around For years the smile Slapped from my face My laughter punished From an illogical belief That my smile maybe laughing at him As for years I dwelled On all that shouldn't have been A friend once said to the rain inside No body wants a dark cloud So every day I blow the clouds away And the days I cannot breath another blow I crawl into somewhere no one goes From every smile Another grows From every grin I mend within From every time I laugh I grow with life's love And just here and there When what I can't bear Gets a little bit too much I give my happiness a rest Letting my smile Sleep for a while
