Am I Not Happy? ! ? .... Poem by Elena Sandu

Am I Not Happy? ! ? ....

Rating: 3.1


Why am I not happy?
Because.. The sun's not up?
But I have a choice:
- enjoy the clouds!

Why am I not happy?
Because.. I feel so lonely?
But I have a choice:
To call a friend and let the time go slowly..

Why am I not happy?
Because..I have no money?
But I have a choice:
-forget that I had any..

Why am I not happy?
because..I am in pain?
but I have a choice:
to count, wait-patience I'll gain..

A well narrated poem giving a msg. of not losing heart, rather to find other ways to cover up the pains of not getting the same - very nice.

You are right, too right. We all have the chance to let good into our lives, but we don't always want it, or to think of it, when we are comfortable in misery. Your works really make me think, I truly thank you.

Lot of wisdom can be felt. Friend, how beautifully introspected the internal conflicts of the human mind and at the same time made us know that there is a remedy for each and every problem. Nice work. Marks 10
