Happiness...

Happiness is being bold enough

To look for your passion

And embracing it when you have found it

 

It is when you let your passion become what it must be

And having the strength to evolve into who you will become

While it is in service to you

 

When you are not afraid of stepping out

When everyone else tells you

That you are a fool

 

Those who have these words for you

Have not heard the call

Of what is

 

Or they are too afraid of

The light and the call

To grasp it for themselves

 

They don’t want you to step higher

Or stretch further

In knowledge of yourself; lest they be left behind

 

So they struggle to pull you back

Into darkness

Into their fettered confusion

 

Pulling a yoke from anywhere

To define you

With promises that this will make you whole and substantial

 

Placing debt, the sacrament, upon your shoulders

Until you suffocate beneath its weight

The depression cured, if you take their pills

 

This is how they like you; blinders make the obedient horse

Unplug yourself, take back the reins

Look deep within yourself

 

Courage on to see who it is behind your eyes

Determine what is truly important

Meet your dragon and draw your sword

 

Happiness is finding your passion

Recognizing it when you see it

And being brave enough to live it

When you are not afraid of stepping out
When everyone else tells you
That you are a fool

If you believed this you would have done it
If you have done it, what are you complaining
about ?
Throw off the guilt. Do your thing !
