The Keys To Happiness.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

The Keys To Happiness..



The keys to happiness are held by them and thee,
To open the doors of my heart to feel sad and happy,
The strange display on the platform of trophies,
The names are many, who had held my emotional keys,

I was shocked and questioned many nights in bright light,
Depressed, confused, unguided and alone for the attest,
Calling cards, skype, voip and many more gadgets,
Not felt the peace that I wanted to enjoy the days,

When the individuals are born out of our young and old,
The experiences that they have acquired in overseas land,
The distanced relatives and friends from the heart of a loner,
I have retrieved the keys from everyone who needn’t control my life.

The world looks clearer and merrier than ever,
As my entangled emotions are no more loaned and in flare,
I have retrieved many of my emotional keys not overnight or by force,
But a few are returned to me with love, when they have their own.

Happiness is a give and take affair. First step is to give with no expectation. Keeping one's life in one's own control is the key. Nice poem. Thank you.
