To Be Happier Poem by wabi sabi

To Be Happier



you wouldn't know what is happy
until you get through sadness

what you have is where you have been

there will be something you will learn
once you bravely leave where you are

contrast will be born by nature

thought-provoking. maybe that is why i feel uncomfortable saying i am/have been happy, but instead prefer the adjective CONTENT. what's wrong with being content? nothing, i hope. i guess i am lucky to have so little personal experience with 'SAD' that i don't say i am HAPPY. thanks for sharing.

I think your poems are Wabi Sabi. (Well chosen name) Natural beauty and happiness to be truly appreciated should have own skin been touched the least once by some sort of sadness and ugliness..How many of us realize our happiness only after we lost it? This poem is great my friend, thank you!

This is Golden. For how can you know what it feels like to be happy if you've never even been sad?
