Happiness

"Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will begin." my cousin gave it to me before she left.

Happiness.. 

as we grow up, we learn that even the
 one person that wasn't supposed to ever
 let you down probably will.
you will have your heart broken probably
more than once and it's harder every time.
  You'll break hearts too, so remember how
  it felt when yours was broken.
you'll fight with your best friend.
  you'll blame a new love for
  things an old one did.
you'll cry because time is passing too fast,
and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures
   laugh too much
 and love like you've never been hurt
  because every sixty seconds you
             spend upset is a minute of happiness
   you'll never get back.

I love this. Very very true. I laughed at the take too many pictures and laughed too much lines since that's what i always do!! The sixty seconds bit was a very nice touch. Awesome work. Definitely going in my favorites!

Wow! This was an incredible piece! It definitely held a lot of wisdom, and reading this put a lot of issues into perspective for me personally, and made me think about how I live my life. I thought that the last few lines was the perfect way to end the piece! A very well-rounded poem. Great work,

very nicely written
the poem conveys a good message that one should always be happy and live the life like it is ending in the next second i.e. one should enjoy every single moment of life and dont just be upset bcoz of various bad happenings
Keep up the good work!
