writing I wish it was true

[Pan the Fabulous Ferret 2,642]

I wish everyone was happy.

But happiness won’t come.

Not by sheer will or wanting,

or perhaps other means.

Happiness is never known.

It is only focused upon,

Lived with, and revered.

Always present, yet rarely used.

 

At times I wonder why happiness plays these games.

Why it dispels itself to allow the angst and fear overtake us.

Why it is ever-present, but lacks in power.

Why hate and sadness rule the majority of the unfortunate.

 

I wish everyone was happy.

I wish sadness was just a dream.

 

Sadness never ending in its fight with our minds.

Also ever-present; with us to the end.

I wish it was not so

I wish everyone knew happiness.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

 

I would wish that this would be true, happiness is the most wonderful feeling we can have, and sadness is the worst.

Oh man, this is really good, so sad though! Everyone just needs hugs. Hugs for everyone who comes in this thread and reads this poem.

 

Very well-written though. Good job.
