happiness is a shackle,
anchoring my ankle to
the sinking ship of committment
gone sour years before -
happiness is a chain
tying me to the lost cause
of acceptance and contentment,
where will is just a memory.
happiness is a weight
in the ocean, dragging me
down into the darkness,
where there is no hope for change.
happiness is the lie
we tell our children, and never
grow out of -
as we drown in the tedium of life,
we cannot understand
why the shore is still miles away.
