Why Be Happy
What is this feeling
that rejoice and hurts
an instance of laughter
the next of tears
Tears that lingers
unshed and weary
erupting saddness
wringing and scary
Why be happy
when saddness awaits
like a sleeping serpent
to rise its hood
Its bite stings
with searing pain
flushing out
the blissful feel
Why be happy
or be sad
neither lets you
stay sane nor glad
