Leave the Happy (Take the Cannoli)

Leave the Happy (Take the Cannoli)

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a poem about facing happy people

"
I know that in admitting this
I'll come off as pretty crappy
But, often, the saddest thing to me
Is talking to someone who's happy
Half the time, I'd rather they slap me
