Happiness

"how simple," is what your probably thinking...

Happiness;
Its hiding in the darkest place
Behind dusty bookshelves
I can't get a hold of its fast pace.

Happiness;
It runs away from me every time
When I get so close to it again and again
Punishing me for every single crime.

Happiness;
Is what should be filling my head
But I find that it is out of my reach
It's millions of light years away instead.

Happiness;
Its left me to be alone in misery
Will it ever come back to me?
Or will i be stuck forever in this wiry.

Happiness;
Is where my life will end
Once I find that we will be good
And for misery I will fend.

Author's Note

Ahh a little too basic for me.

happiness is what we all seek..but its relative..
happiness for me is to be at peace with my self....i have always known the wise and thoughtful to be happy cause they want little from life
to indulge in life and its race will never give you that peace..stay away as much as you can ..in dreams,keep dreaming ,its not a shame..feel love in everything you see.. life is miserable i know but laugh at it ..its a sham,its a lie..its not worth running after it..let it run after you..you dont need it..give her the cold shoulder..
accept whatever may come..give love to whoever you see..try to smile to everything..look at life but only see its beauty ..whatever puts you down
just close your eyes as if you never see..its your mind that will give happiness ...happiness comes from inside you not from life outside..you create it ..it will never
be given to you as a gift..work on it feel it in your lovely soul..and it will shine back to you..

Basic but heartfelt. Nice illustration of discontentment! XXC
