Happiness Poem by Phurpa Wangdi

everyone to me strikes as happy
laughing and smiling all the while
seems carefree
nothing in the world to worry.

why am i the only one
tortured about myself to death
getting looked down
why me and why now?

i have my own dreams
i have places i want to visit
i don't want to be here
don't want to be caged.

just like a rat
i have lived my entire life
i want to change
i want to break off my cage.


some want cars
remains just a dream
some are forced to have one
some gets gifted with it.

what one wishes
he gets it none
but what he has prayed not to come
always does, the misery.

sleepless nights
restless days of hard work
yet success seems so far
the harder i try
the further it runs.

giving up seems like a solution
standing up, seems just impossible
i fall down
waking up is a big trouble
but i say its all worth a try.


all the while
i chased after peace
now i am going to rest
let peace come to me
good comes to those who waits.
