A blissful stream
Look !
It’s a new day,
and happiness is spilling across the world
like sunlight breaking through a stubborn night.
No point digging through the ruins of yesterday,
no point letting old ghosts
rent space in your chest.
But there you are, sitting still,
curled into the echo of what once was,
as if the past deserves
that much power over your present breath.
You hold your grief
like it’s the greatest tragedy ever staged,
like the universe should stop moving
Read the rest of the poem Show less
just to witness your sorrow.
You’re building your sadness
into a monument,
a towering shrine to everything that hurt you.
But hear me ...
it's time to move on.
Stand up.
Look outward.
Pain is not a private invention.
Your loss is real,
but it is not the world’s axis.
It's not the only storm.
It's not the only broken thing
trying to heal.
So widen your mind.
Let your heart stretch
beyond the borders of your own ache.
See the thousands of stories
unfolding around you ...
some heavier,
some quieter,
all human.
There are people drowning
with no one to hear them.
There are souls starving
for a single act of kindness.
Give something.
Anything.
Let your love move outward,
not inward.
Let it travel,
let it land,
let it matter.
Stop worshipping your own sorrow,
start lifting someone else’s night !
That’s when you’ll feel it:
A happiness so wide,
so infinite,
it makes the past
finally loosen its grip.
