IN SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS

My thoughts wallow
In search of happiness
I feel dejected cos I am rejected
Many things I wished for myself
None seems not to be coming.

I sought for love
I found none to give this flower
Even when my tears turned blood
None was able to see through my heart
To provide me the answer I seek.

I picked my pen
Hoping to write away my pains
So my heart peace I can maintain
All my ideas can fetch me gain
Alas it ended in premium tear.

My light was dimming
I needed to brighten it
Hoping my future will brighten
I reached out for light
To dispersed the darkness
That have enveloped my world
But my hands couldn’t reach it
Before It was grab by an enemy
Who only wished for my fall.
Who neglected me when I call
I need help so I can stand tall.

IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS

In a bid to be happy
Sadness and thought of myself comes
A bard with lots of pains
It’s bad when there’s no gains

My love never made a move
The roses turns to sores
A broken prey needs to be glued
Hands of withdrawal towards success all in my head

It takes a certain process to achieve that possible progress
My head thinks darkness
Lightness is needed to brighten it’s path
Necklace of hope turns neck lace for rope to suicide

Bittered and shattered cos I can’t push ahead
Lots of things controls my brains
Been forced and pulled to hell
I need a bell to heaven
