Key To Happiness

Inspired by dialogue between two friends who felt sad by the way their life was going. I think "No one else but we can decide whether to feel dejected or exulted."

Key To Happiness

Why does my heart ache,

Why my brain goes numb,

Life seems like an empty vas,

Of flowers gone wilted and dry.

                 The world is so noisy,

                 I long for eternal calm,

                 Life has gone by,

                 Listening to what others say,

                 And to what will others say,

                 I forgot how to listen,

                 What my innerself spoke,

                 Forgot what I want.

                        

I can listen to them,

Even when they are quite,

Their unspoken words,

Have greater might,

My life spiraled,

Gone out of shape.

           In my dreams and in my sight,

           Always thinking they are right,

           Pleasing them is my destiny,

           And that'll make future bright.

   How wrong was I,

   But no one to blame,

   It is futile to ponder in past,

   Feeling dejected all in vain.

                

             How to shut myself to noise,

             To silent words and glaring sight,

             To the side ways glances,

              And remarks snide,

              I have yet to learn,

              To live my life,

              The way I yearn.

   Life is beautiful,

   With people who care,

   Why bother for those,

   Snide remarks and stare.

  

               Life is beautiful vase,

               Put the colourful blooms,

               Make it fragrant and bright.

              

   Key to happiness,

   Is in our care,

   Listen to your inner voice,

   You will feel joyful and sublime.
