What happiness is...

Happiness... is a fragile piece of glass,
It so fragile that one’s heart can never fully contain it.
Its thinness reflects the light as it shine.
Its thinness gives off a heart breaking feel when at hand.
Happiness,
No matter what amount of water poured within,
It’ll always overflow.
Soon you’ll realised that no matter how much Happiness we try to gasp,
The amount will never stay the same.
They’ll overflow and become wasted.
Don’t you feel the pinch?
The pinch of letting happiness passed us by.
No matter how much we wanted to hold on to it.
At times we just had to let it go,
Soon we realised how much we had wasted while pretending,
To love and cherish it while it’s within our grasp,
And how much it hurts to lose all of it as we stay denial.
Happiness... how much we all always prayed it’ll stay.
Stay long enough so everyone can share our happiness.
But everyone can only desire a different kind of happiness.
Some comes from the pleasure of pain,
Getting hurt to love and watch the wounded cry.
While some comes with payment of penny and dime.
This happiness can only satisfy the superficial needs.
These are not everlasting happiness.
What do we understand of true happiness?
One that comes from sacrificing and giving.
We shouldn’t keep a certain happiness that’s not ours to keep,
Some times as we let them go,
Happiness itself will come for us,
In giving we find what happiness really means to an individual.
