Every day
Brings a new light
A new darkness for it to snuff away.
A new struggle
An old one rekindled
And a bravery to rival them all.
Every day
Someone will try
To harm you
Intentionally or not.
You will face bullets
Daggers too
Sometimes even a fire or two.
And everyday
You choose happiness.
Choose happiness.
Everyday.

Happiness: The Search
Seeking happiness
Through the rain
Through the pain
Through the likes
Through the stares
Through and through
Throughout history
That is man
What he searches
Timeless the effort
Endless the hunt
Waiting for the gift
Waiting for my love
Waiting for the drift
Into the cove
To start again
It won't come from him
It won't come from it
It won't come at all
It will only grow
Within.
Because of you.
Control it
Grow it
Sustain it
Otherwise it will never be found
Seeking happiness
Inside.

Paint My Life
If I could choose how to paint my life
It would have no bravery
It would have no courage
It would have only laughs and smiles
If I could paint my life
There would be no strength
There would be no perseverance
There would be only effortlessness
If I could paint my life
It would be painless
It would be dull
It would not be a story to tell
Good thing the brush is not in my hand

And Draw
It is the gloom that births art.
Sunshine stunts it.
When you witness the water of the rain putting out the fire of the sun, run to your canvas.
And draw
