Misery
Is an echo of unfulfilled dreams
A haunting melody
That ricochets when happiness has reached its limits
A call from the soul
When you get deceived for your blind faith
For every rise, there is a fall
And so after every happy moment
Don't be surprised by the avalanche of wretchedness accompanying you down the mountain
Happiness is in the clouds
Misery is rock bottom
Helplessness puts you in a chokehold
And fear of confrontation holds you down
There is nothing you can do
But listen and listen and listen...
And hope that staying where you are should help you gather your spirits
So that you can start climbing the mountain of life
To get your hands on your much deserving ticket to happiness...
Be it momentary or unceasing
We are all hunters lured by the smell of contentment and satisfaction...
Misery is only a phase
When you rest and restore your sprightliness
Be your own confidant
And keep your woes private
For, sharing will only get you in further trouble
And resist your recovery to former state
Let your mind adapt to the novelty of experiencing misery
Later, you would reach a stage when it won't even faze you...
Oh misery, off you then go...
