She comes by to lighten up our day
She lingers around to keep us high
She plays with our heart in ways we like
She blesses us with memories and delight
She makes sure that we understand life
Its goodness and all its glory
She also has the ability to make us believe
That life can be devoid of worry
She has the magic to change us in all
She has the potential to help us out
She also has a curse that enables a fall
And fill us with uncontrollable doubt
She flees all of a sudden, leaving us lost
Letting us wonder about our worth
As our smiles has always been a priority
Now we face every worry yet to be unearthed.
Have we ever wondered why we need her?
Why we need her so bad and desperate?
Why these questions never arise within
But we always end up searching for something that's innate?
She lets us live a life we want
She also shows us a life we'll never need
So that we will make it right
And live a better life indeed
When we think she's gone
We make a mistake by constantly guessing
Though, she never intends to be gone
But instead shows us what happens when she leaves
We keep searching in the wrong places
While we always have her in our heart
We don't give her the credit she deserves
And that is when she disappears into the light
She is ours to own if and only if we accept
That life needs to be a balance of sorts
No matter where you think that she's gone
She is happiness and she'll be home!

ReplyDeletePerfect and excellently said. Whenever i lose the "she", i think i can read this to revive her in me. Wishes for continuing with your good work at all times.
ReplyDelete"She also has a curse that enables a fall

Am not certain, whether i got the meaning for this right. if u can, explain it for me.
I meant to say...She also has the ability to lead us to a point where she leaves all of a sudden and lets us think that all that happiness was deserving or not.
DeleteHope I got it through to you... :)
