HAPPINESS- A MYTH
Oh my beloved friend- the mirror-
Please tell me how do I appear?
"You seem to be the happiest of all"-
Your smile says it all".
What defines Happiness?
Does a smile mean we are happy?
Does success guarantee happiness?
Or seeing others make us happy?
Oh! mirror please tell me-
What makes you say I am happy?
How can I be happy-
When I see others cry?
When someones gain-
Is Someelse'e pain,
How can just a smile-
Show that I am happy?
As the lightning strikes us
And the dark clouds cover the sun's rays
Gone will be my happiness
As I am gripped by the sadness
Oh! mirror how can you define Happiness-
That has such a short existense?
Happiness is nothing but a myth-
That makes us believe what we want to believe.
It is is just a consolation-
That makes us see what we want to see.
Oh! my friend mirror please tell me-
What makes you feel I am truly happy?

Superb ! It's very true that most often in life we forget the good and remember the bad...We dwell in the sorrow and pain , rather than take the good with the bad.Life never is all fun and games.. True happiness is almost impossible to find.And we are always too eager to forget the good times and the blessings once we get in trouble.Humankind will never be truly happy as this poem portrays ! Hats off to u my friend ! Keep writing ! :-)
without any offense,i'll disagree with u on this one mate....a lovely post...but i really feel happiness is not a myth really...its more of an undefined entity...true,the lightning will strike and the clouds will cover up...but then again,the sun will come out one day.i'll be waiting for a post on the rising sun one day!!! :)
Nice thought one of your kind dude...but i don't think that HappYness is not a myth...it is the diamond hidden in the dark coal...it is the hidden treasure beneath the pyramid...so come find it...
