PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I keep on trying with pointless ambitions,

To find something that’s never really been missing.

I’ve been searching for so long and I’ve come to no avail,

I was getting so frustrated because I continued to fail.

Then it hit me that I’ve been searching for nothing,

I have what I need and all I ever wanted.

Family, a friend, a person of my own,

And during my search I’ve been hurting them all along.

I was trying so hard to make myself happy,

That I’ve been hurting the people who were trying to help me.

So blind was I to never realize,

That what I was missing has been trapped inside.

I have wanted happiness and joy in my life,

And it’s been there all the time, it just wasn’t in sight.

I was looking so hard but yet not hard enough,

Thing’s wouldn’t have been so hard had I not made them so tough.

I was living a lie that was disguised in belief,

All I’ve ever really needed to do was believe in me.

After 2 years of searching and other many diversions,

I think that I may have finally cured my hurting.

I feel so refreshed and can’t wait till tomorrow,

No more pain, no more sadness, and finally no more sorrow.

I control my own destiny and fate isn’t a factor,

When I see something I want I’ll pursue and go after it.

What I want is to be happy and no one will stop me from achieving,

Now it is time that you start believing.
