Snuff

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
