Ode to My Happiness
by Julia Gonzalez

When I'm happy
I am on cloud nine
But when I'm sad
it's like I am in hell.
My happiness is always fighting
with love
It's like love could be like heaven
But could hurt like hell
When the love feels like it has passed
it kills my happiness
When I have lots of love
My happiness is dancing around
all of the time
Lonely and happiness aren't the best of friends
They are jealous of each other
but one is always getting
the short end of the stick
craving greater attention
to fully take control
One place that happiness goes to find itself
is in rain
Rain and happiness have a little talk
then the sun coumes out
They don't always agree
The sun doesn't always shine
Alone
that's what I am sometimes
Alone
without happiness
Alone
Sad
Nothing
That's what life is
without happiness
