Happiness

~~Happiness
Is a funny thing
Indeed
If I may borrow
Your ear
For this moment
Answer me
This
If someone was
Happy
Would they need
To tell you
This was so
Would they need
To trumpet
Their emotions
Across
The webbed rainbow
Telling everyone
How happy
They were
Or would
Everyone know
They were happy
Thus making
The message
Futile
I might even
Go as far as
To say
That if you felt
The need
To tell me
How happy you
Were
I might guess
You weren't
Happy at all
For should
It be so
You would be
So fueled
In happiness
The words would
Prove
A dusted ruin
A distraction
To the truth
You felt
Inside
Which
Of course
Was always
A
Lie

Not necessarily - but the sharing of happiness can be a fist in the face to someone who resents it - or an offered lick on a Werther's Original to someone who appreciates it.
