Story of a Poet: #16. ~Happiness isn’t about being happy. ~

Happiness isn’t about always
Getting what you want.
Happiness isn’t about the number
Of laughter you have had.
Happiness isn’t about how louder
Or longer you can laugh.
Happiness isn’t about how fast
Your lips encircle on petty things.
Happiness is about being satisfied.
Being satisfied with what you have.
Being satisfied with what you are.
Happiness is about one person.
And that one person is you
And lately, happiness is all about
Characterizing your thoughts
Making it one
Purely amicable at heart
And at peace.
