Happiness is the language of a tribe I try to learn,
Happiness is a stubborn grass in a field of dandelions,
Happiness is alien to my world.
Happiness is falling off a cliff and standing like nothing happened,
Happiness is loosing your most valued treasure,
Happiness is alien to my world.
Happiness is being stabbed in the back and still smiling,
Happiness is living as a ghosts,
Happiness is pain,
It is truly alien to my world.
Once upon a time, we were friends
In a distant land,
Where happiness was peace,
It was joy,
It was playing carelessly in a garden,
It was licking a lollipop,
Yes, there was a time it was mine,
But now, happiness is alien to my world.
This poem beautifully captures the dilemma of longing for happiness while feeling disconnected from it. It speaks about the complexities of human emotions and constant search of joy.
This is a great comment and is reflective of my thoughts on it as well. I came to this poem many times but couldn't put my thoughts into words as you did. @topcomment

I'm glad you could resonate with it. Sometimes it's hard to explain in words but when you hear it being said you go like "Ahh. That's exactly what I was thinking".
Also, thank you for the topcomment nomination. I did not know about this and seems like something interesting to explore on the platform.
