Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow (Acceptance) Poem by Harshvardhan Ramachandran

There was a girl who told me things
How being with her would give my life the wings
That I had sorely missed since my youth
And now my soul is gone for what it’s worth
What do I do crashed in the dirt
Well there is a thought I've had

Happiness is not something achieved
Nor is it something deserved
When I feel Happiness around me
I hold it tight for comfort
Because when I do so
I know no-one can do me any harm

There was a girl who promised me many things
About how nothing could come in the way
Not knowing it was a joke she was to say
How stupid of me to fall for an easy lie
And now in this pain I die
Knowing that now is not to cry
But to try to rebuild into something better

Happiness is not something achieved
Nor is it something deserved
When I feel Happiness around me
I hold it tight for comfort
Because when I do so
I know no-one can do me any harm

When I heard what was to come
While on the way home
From a place far, away for too long
I was so tired
My mind and all its functions fried
You walked into my world
And you took away my joy
And now you leave me here to die

There was a boy who was told things
He believed them because he was a loner
Never in his life had he cared for another
Someone who he had no relation in blood or mind
Yet he cared not really knowing why
And here after hearing the lie
He is here in dirt waiting to die

Happiness is not something achieved
Nor is it something deserved
When I feel Happiness around me
I hold it tight for comfort
Because when I do so
I know no-one can do me any harm

So here I lie in the dirt
Wondering if it’s time to die
Suddenly my mind lights up
None of these matter at all
That part of my life is behind the wall
Of the past that I'd rather leave behind
I stand up and dust myself off
Knowing that nothing is the same
I feel a glint of hope passing through me
Not knowing what will happen to you
Honestly, I can say I don’t care
As I walk away from death's lair
To restart my life once again


That was a long time ago
Those times were chaotic
The moments in hindsight are poetic
While she thinks I still reel
She has no clue what I feel
Because I have you by my side
You helped me ride the storm
And control my own life
And I have you here with me
To make everything a little more bright

Happiness is not something achieved
Nor is it something deserved
While I was once reserved
Now I hold you in my arms
When I feel Happiness around me
I hold it tight for comfort
Because when I do so
I know no-one can do me any harm
So I walk down the road with a smile
Having you by my side
Knowing that you will not lie
Nor will you break my heart into wanting me to die
I know I can count upon you
Forgetting what happened before
Looking ahead to what is
And what is to be
With You and Me.
