Is stingy.
A refusal to share your joy
With those who would receive it.
To act as though delightful things
Are not so.
To not bear good news.
It isn’t a more noble alternative to pride,
Nor a useful way
Of accepting feedback.
In a year that has exceeded its fair share
Of hard luck and bad news
If you have something to be happy about
Holding back and acting cool will serve no one-
Be happy.
