even when I'm happy, i can't help but frown,
for i know the happiness will soon go away,
nothing that brings you joy, can ever stay,
it puzzles your mind day after day,
why is the question you ask
why must happiness be a tedious task
every emotion there is lasts longer,
but the greatest emotion of all never makes you stronger,
to me, happiness is an illusion,
a state your mind goes in to forget problems,
to me, its just an illusion and nothing more, but pain
