Happiness

The damp walls close in all the more

They numb my feelings to the core


It is just happiness I crave

I hear you say I am not brave


You say sorrow is needed too

I say why does it so please you


Sorrow is easy to experience

To yet be happy shows good sense


I always see the people sad

A smiling man dismissed as mad


I like to laugh, I hate to cry

With the great birds I wish to fly


It is that easy to laugh and smile

Keep sadness away by a mile.

It sounds incomplete; as if you just stopped abruptly.
