Ephemeral happiness

It was foolish of me  
to imagine eternal happiness  
much like the ephemeral flower  
never feeling the sun again  
when the darkness begins to peel  
out of sight  
guard your happiness  
for the light will  
creep up on you and steal your happiness  
when you least expect it  
In order to find it again  
you must dig through the surface  
be wary of the surface  
for clouds hold a powerful drowning flood above your head  
no matter how hard you try to escape it,  
you never can  
it brings you down lower and lower  
you will say  
"it's all in my head"  
it may be  
but are you just over thinking it?  
Maybe,
but who am I to correct anyone?
the body is an indestructible disease  
that cannot be escaped nor cured  
a disease much longer lasting  
than short lived happiness
