Fleeting Happiness
When was the last time
you feel happiness?
Yesterday? A while ago?
Or you don’t know?
When you smile,
does that mean you’re happy?
When you laugh,
are you really happy?
Happiness is so fleeting—
is it? Surely it is!
We just don’t recognize it
until it’s finally gone.
You may be smiling right now
but later your smile fades.
You may be laughing right now
but later you’re crying.
It seems so unfair, right?
You feel a little happiness
but later you feel so much sadness,
until it drowns you deeper.
Do you even deserve
the sadness you feel
after that fleeting happiness?
I guess, it should be done that way.
