Find: Happy

Her eyes stare out at me,
The desperation is clear for all to see,
The love has gone,
But in her, there’s another storm,
‘What will the world say?’ she asks,
And slowly, again, she crawls behind the mask.

Just what will the world say?
The world will question,
The world will talk about her stray.
People will give her the eye,
They’ll bring her down to her knees, make her cry.
She’ll hear taunts, she’ll hear rumours,
She’ll realize who was never hers.
They’ll rip her life, year by year,
Give her pain so severe…
She knows, she’s scared,
So she won’t ever dare,
To take that step, to be free,
To give herself the chance to experience ‘Happy’…

I tell her to live for today,
For yesterday’s gone, and tomorrow’s only a ‘may’,
They won’t give her happiness,
And so she’ll miss,
Her chance to feel, her chance to be,
Her chance to find out what is ‘Happy’…

I tell her to cut the string,
To throw the ring,
To, at her own behest,
Never settle for second best…

I tell her to realize,
That no one will stop her cries,
Except for her.

I want her to know,
When bad is over, there’s good ALWAYS in store.
Life has started, and life will end,
But in between, life gives the chance to amend,
She should grab it and slay the fear,
Of a new beginning, of finding another dear,
Only then, will she know and see,
Just what really is ‘Happy’…

I want her to look the world in the eye,
Without a flinch, without a sigh,
She doesn’t need them to reprove,
What only matters is that her heart approves,
Coz the world’s not gonna set her soul free,
Coz that will be,
Only when she gets back ‘Happy’.

Life will give you chances aplenty,
To know, to realize, to find and to keep ‘Happy’.
Take the chance before life passes you by,
For down the line, you’ll be asking, ‘Why didn’t I?’
