People often ask -" what is happiness?" or
"How does one find happiness?"
I used to think that too,
Kept looking for it in everyone and everywhere!
Started raising expectations,
Got my hopes all high.
And when nothing could come out of them,
It would make me even sadder
I would cry my heart out!
But no, nothing got better.
And one day, while I was weeping like always used to ,
Came a beautiful boy, on a beautiful white horse,
Stopped beside me and handed over his little
white handkerchief to me.
He asked - " Why are you this sad, young lady?"
And I replied - " 'coz I can't find happiness!!"
He chuckled and sat down by my side and said--
" My dear lady, finding happiness is a myth.
You dont need to go and search for it everywhere!
It isnt something you would find in others.
Rather it is with you, it has always been with you.
Its in the LITTLE THINGS that you usually dont acknowledge..the little things ! "
I was too immature and stupid to understand him, rather I mistook his kindness to be love!
But of course, when reality struck and
He left, I was devastated again.
Couldn't find no peace, no calm , no happiness.
And out of nowhere, he appeared before my eyes again and kept repeating -" IT'S IN THE LITTLE THINGS,. MY LADY ! "
I woke up from the dream and smiled
Its the little things to look for happiness in
And now there'd be no one as confined as me.
I'm finally happy ..!

...
Can't help the feeling when you miss the person you never had  ,
When your mind replays the memories you've never lived ,
And your heart aches for the love you've never known!

You came into my life
You fell in love with me
You made me feel things
You showed me how beautiful life could be
You made me believe in myself
You taught me to love
You fell out of love
You left!
But only if you had made me fall out of love too
For I can't un-love you, ever!

That you would always be with me
Holding my hand, walking by my side
That you would never give up on me
No matter what!
That you would never let me go
'Coz you told me you loved me
That you would always come back to me
'Coz you told me I felt like home
You forgot everything,
Like it never meant anything.
You moved on with your life,
But here I am , still holding on to your lies.

For the world of mine,
That is already torn apart,
That I've been trying to fix
piece by piece, like a broken mirror
Glueing up the pieces together
And just when I place them right,
Out of nowhere do these pieces fall apart
and onto the ground,
Tearing apart my world even more.

YOU
Who am I?
What am I !
I wanna go find myself..
But Oh!
As soon as I try to..
Those people stop me!
****! Those people..
Who can do nothing but criticise
And make you feel low.
I feel as if i'm caged..
That I've no way out!
But.. Have I really come to the wrong place???
If No, then perhaps
I must keep trying
I gotta be strong!!
But to make through all this,
All I need is YOU ( by my side).
