happy
pour me some happiness
my soul is cold
hurt has shut me out
my tender feelings are alien to me
I seek asylum in the numb
my pain creeps up on me
just when I think it's gone
it comes back swinging
sucker punching me
I go down,
down another a shot
and get up again
drinking my anguish
one, two, three shots
and you're gone

I genuinely believe that happiness is a form of toxicity.
And I have pondered this for some time now...
I think there is the element of infiltration into purity by different elements, perhaps.
Nevertheless. I very much like what you have done here.

What I enjoy about this is the opening observation, which is also the occasion of the poem:
the insight that pain shuts out happiness--
Indeed it does!
And that part of that problem is what happens to tender feelings.
Another good insight into human nature.
Enjoyed!

It's really interesting how even in the gloom of it all, happiness seems just a reach away even as the darkness tugs trying to pull you completely deep.
Great ink dear crimsin. Stay strong.
