Happiness

Happiness is overused,

Overrated, unexcused.

Trapped inside a weary web,

I spun myself vast wires of dread.

People painted perfect pictures

of who they thought they were,

and told themselves that they\'d find happiness

within the painted blurs.

And when they didn\'t, they were angry,

pissed off, and quite confused,

so they spun their own damn webs

and blamed their problems on word use.

And I\'m mad and I\'m pissed

for reasons I can\'t show,

and I blame it all on happiness

so that I won\'t feel alone.
