Pursuit of our Happiness

We all deserve Love and Light, Joy and Happiness. But that doesn't mean we can hurt others along the way. Let's try to show Empathy and Compassion, Dignity and Respect in our dealings with others. 

Pursuit of our Happiness 
By Michelle Morris

You and I talk
But I don't think we communicate 
We use words and tones and facial expressions 
But somehow it gets lost in translation 

It's so easy to talk of world peace 
And yet here we are being anything but
You're determined to pursue your ways
And I guess I'm tired of being stuck 

Around and around we go each time
Around and around again 
You see you think somehow we're fine
You even consider us as friends 

I concede they we have moments
Where the path is not filled with rocks and thorns 
Where the waves don't decimate the shore
And the horizon isn't too daunting 

But that's because I keep bending
Keep making allowances and forgiving 
I focus on the potential I see in you
And stupidly forget my Light is dimming 

Because when you're on different frequencies 
When your energy is unaligned 
There's bound to be friction 
The Universe wants to move Space and Time 

I'm not meant to stay here
Here in the Darkness with you 
I was only meant to be a mirror for your Soul 
Reflect the deepest, honest Truth 

Ultimately I accept it now 
That I cannot save you from yourself 
And I completely accept that 
I'm going to Heaven and you're going to Hell

As much as I feel I've failed you
I know that you've had every chance 
My mission here is complete now 
It's time for me to leave this Dance 

It's been a lot of challenging lessons
But it is always good to know 
Exactly what you don't want sometimes
So that your future can be rosy 

To be flexible and open-minded 
Can only get us so far
Sometimes we have to see the ugly Truth 
That not all Souls have the same Path

And that's okay because we're unique 
We're here to (hopefully) learn and grow 
Sometimes we have to walk away
And let Heaven and Hell do their sowing 

We all deserve Love and Light 
We all deserve Dignity and Respect 
Let's try to be Patient and Kind to all
In the pursuit of our Happiness
