There Is More To Unhappiness.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

because there are too many options
you become speechless

you fret, you fingers are restless

what now? you are undecided
what to choose,

the thought of
consequences come like rain

you are drenched all over
feeling cold
and so
alone,

you try to figure out
that from among these million choices
you have to take only one
and be happy,

and if you are wrong
and become unhappy throughout your lifetime
you will be blaming yourself forever

and it happens to most of us here
who think that this world is unfair,
that people are insensitive
that the future is bleak
the past nothing but recklessness
and the present
a tragedy, all about regret and waste

and throughout our lifetime we choose to be
unhappy because we think we made the wrong choice

there will be a review, an evaluation,
there is more to unhappiness, it is not just that.
