Happiness
All smiles
All happiness
But I don’t know why
Are they making me happy?
I tell myself yes
I think I’m trying to reassure myself
They have smiles
I make them happy
That makes me happy
Until I see others
Two-sided conversations
Real smiles shared
Being there for eachother
I want that
When I feel it
I want to keep it
The warmth that happiness provides
The comfort that is felt
But I can’t have it
They need me
More than I need it
So I stay
With the forced smile
The forced laugh
The forced happiness
So they’re happy
Why can’t I be
Happy
