In search of happieness

One day i woke up to find myself totally lost
something seems to be different from yesterday
i see that the face in the mirror is not mine
i come to know that the world has changed

it was a very happy world till yesterday
suddenly there's darkness all over
i venture out in search of happieness
a long odyssey in search of yesterday's utopia

I go to every person whom i had known
inquiring if they had seen where the world has gone
some would say that time has abducted it
while other's would laugh off as if nothing has happened

I continue to search in the dark with a ray of hope
i search amongst the stacked piles of memories
and within the racks of the future plans
i go to new places and ask strange questions

without an answer and without much hope left
i sit there on a beach and watch the waves rise and fall
each wave rises to the peak and crashes to the shore
it's the natural cycle of ups and downs that repeats

i wonder if the waves had an answer to my question
may be it's the cycle of the world that changes
but the essence of happieness in it remains the same
we are happy one day and sad the next day

it's the natural cycle that ought to repeat
failing to rise back from sorrows drowns you in the depths
the depths of gloom, sorrow and darkness
the wave inspired a new life of happieness

it's the same world now, the same happy world
everything's the same, the memories, the present, the future
everything's bright and shiny again today
happieness is just the perspective, idiot!!
