Behold your thoughts
Keep the creativity to yourself
For I ask,
What happens to those little happiness
Which gets deserted in the sands of time
With no hope to find.
Ideally,
It should grow with us
Along with age, along with maturity
Happiness should grow.
But all I wonder,
In that little corner
Time flies, age flies, even maturity grows
But happiness stays back at un-moved.
Those bright eyes, filled with dreams of tomorrow
Don’t know, where the roads lead
Yet with their bags filled,
They set out for the journey
With no clue where the destiny leads
It’s a journey of a life time
Invariably the only ever chance
So why not grab it?
I sit here, only to ponder
Where did my happiness go?
Until yesterday, it was beside me,
Playing, singing, and rising.
But, what happened today?
The sun rose on time
The birds chirped it right
Eh, the happiness is nowhere to be seen.
I sit stuck, without any help
What should I do?
Should I borrow my parents’ or my friends’
I too need it,
Then how shall I get it
I went out in a search
The search for happiness
Travelled across cities,
And across hearts
Only to fill myself with more gloom.
I begin to imagine,
What next?
Should I start stealing happiness then?
That’s what they do,
I watched it there,
Pool of blood on one side
And a feeling of satisfaction on the other
I start to envy them
They have so much of it
Why can’t I have any?
I reach out for them
And I scream,
Give me happiness, I want it
I lost mine.
They say the only way
To bring happiness is
To take it away from someone
That’s what we do,
You should too.
Standing there, brimming with dreams
Of tomorrow and after
With no happiness around
And only some to spare
Its time I start stealing
Or else everyone will have their own share.
I mean no offence
I mean no harm
All I want is just a little bit of happiness
Is it too much to ask?
