Happiness Guessed
Happiness guessed is fantasy
accounting for the scary dreams
worry spawns more of the same
damning all that play the game
failure wrapped without regard
for the falls beyond the edge
imagined in full relief
against the bones still complete
without a break even though
phantom pains take control
reducing those who abide
with the troubles of the mind
sadness thought to carry on
clouds spun into the storm
contrasted with the coming balm
this asks too much from the now.
