Finding Happiness

After years of being occupied with clichéd life, finally managed to shape my thoughts in the form of a simple poem.

You wonder if there's something wrong in this world,
Then you wonder, maybe it's not the world but maybe it's you,
Or maybe there is nothing wrong at all,
But there is something which does not seem to be true..

Most of our lives are spent working night and day,
Spent on buying things that we do not need,
Most our lives our loved ones are elsewhere and away,
And for the ones that are close there isn't enough time to knead...

What is it then that will mend this broken world,
What is it that will give a meaning to one's life?
Attachment is the cause of all suffering they say,
And without it, everything can be all right..

For me I crave for happiness the most,
Maybe that's why I smile and laugh most of the time,
But otherwise my time is spent on wondering,
What is it that actually makes us happy in life..

Right now I just want to travel places,
I want to adopt all the strays from the street,
I want all the time to read some books,
Sometimes I just crave for a good night's sleep..

And I want to meet you, wherever you are,
Spend some time with you and maybe travel and explore,
For it has been a pretty long journey, and a pretty crazy world,
I don't know how long I can go on my own...

So maybe that's all that is needed for us to be happy,
Sounds so simple, so how did I not think of it before?
Or maybe, 'happiness' is just a state of mind,
Something that is achieved when one reaches beyond the shore...
