What is happiness?
Do any of us really know?
Sure, we smile.
Never letting true feelings flow.
In another's shoes, we wouldn't last a mile.
We all know pain, each experience is unique.
Physical or emotional, we suffer in our own way.
We all search for an outlet when our future looks bleak.
Friends offer advice, their words seem cliche.
A new day, a new stress.
Another knife in the heart.
We try to pick up the pieces, and clean up this mess.
Life can be painful, bittersweet & tart.
