I Can Feel Every Word, It Hurts

People always ask me
"Why can't you write about happiness?"
But, they don't understand
Living like this, feeling everything so much
It's just your body trying to convince you that each blessed breath is a curse
You either believe it or you don't

Now some people say that they're numb
But me?
I can feel every word
It hurts

Tell me;
How do you write about joy?
I never discovered the trick
Seems melancholy runs deeper
It has carved lines into my soul where laughter has never reached
