Happiness is elusive In the heart that laments This gorgeous life Radiant with love Overshadowed By hollow promises And hedonistic pleasures Reality we present ourselves In the pursuit Along the wrong path Passing on the flames Of destruction Life is much more Than exhaling and inhaling Toxic fumes of anger and apathy Raise your consciousness To elevate to a higher plane Of reality which exists Beyond the realm of mundane Happiness is not elusive More so, we tend to run away From an alien feeling Life is much more precious A gift from eternity Cherish beauty in your heart Keep the flames of hope burning To take you along the path Of happiness
