Temporary Happiness
when you think of temporary happiness,
you probably think of
sweetness,
laughter,
content,
joy.
we hold onto moments
like a tree to its soil,
yet they fly by
like dandelions in the breeze
we can try our best to
relive,
remember,
retell these stories.
as if they were our only source of euphoria
but of course,
all good things must come to an end,
and the unwanted idea,
that these fleeting moments of happiness
are indeed temporary,
entirely consumes us
we let this happen because we believe
that the bad outweighs the good,
even though we dont want to.
we unwillingly trust that the
bright,
warmthful,
welcoming sun,
has the future of an
eclipsed,
numbing,
sinister darkness.
however,
another unpredictable subject
enters our lives,
and again
we are faced with temporary happiness.
