Chasing Happiness by liznificent(f): 11:41am On Apr 14, 2018

CHASING HAPPINESS

I have squandered a lot of this treacherous time
Which I have only but limited
Building a Tower of Babel with blames,
At the foundation of it, Me.

It had come crashing,
Burying me all over.
But I’ve been conjured up again,
A second chance to ‘live’.

Now buried deep into me like ‘ogwu’
Is this truth: that even
Though we are pawns in this game of life
You & I can still play.

I tend to visit a thousand hells
For what? Happiness
But � not anymore.
Because I have learnt,
He who chases happiness never finds it
But he who chases it not,
Tends to gets it in hundred folds.

For he that chases happiness
Forgets the surest way to it;
Seeking it for others.
Therefore, go make someone happy today

You're most welcome. Your ink tastes like wine. That's the power of poetry.
