Something I continuously seek,
Forever and ever…
Were the words “happiness” and “smiles.”
Was it hard? Of course, it’s not.
It’s just the world that makes it complicated.
Was I feeling too much?
Is smiling every day a crime?
Called “abnormal” by a few,
Yet I want to be that person,
Continuously seeking happiness and smiles.
Be it people or things,
The tiniest bit of whatever
Can make my heart beam.
“Seize the day,” says Ronsard,
But will people agree?
Just be you and continue the search…
Happiness and smiles will always be
within you, any day.
