Feeling happy is a mistake
Expressing it is a sin
Expectations evaporate ruthlessly
Wishes often go into the trash bin
I know it's my fault
Destiny is not to be blamed always
Everything will be fine someday
Embers of stubborn hope says
Series of troubles exhausts life
Getting harsh sunlight no shade
Wan smile pats and indicates
Happiness is waiting ahead!

DeleteHappiness is forever attainable, hopes can be dashed - so it is good we are stubborn.
ReplyDeleteWishes are lost dreams and very rarely come true - so I tend not to wish, rather be grateful for what I have. This brings contentment.
Kind regards
