Don't Go To The Place Where You Lost Your Happiness

SuiDhaaga · Jul 17, 2021

Don't return to the place
That stole your joy
Don't return to the place
That stole your smile
That place has people that
Will pretend to love you
But in the end will beguile

Don't go back
It was never meant to be
Don't go back
If you try to patch things
You will be in greater misery

Don't chase the mirage
You cross oceans for people
Who would not jump puddles
For you in their own garage

Stop wallowing in your misery
It is better how things turned out
You became a better person for it
That is how it was meant to be

Why do you keep looking back
Don't you remember every time
You felt your marriage crumble
You had a panic attack

Why do you want to invite that again
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me
You know this damn well
What is wrong with thee?

Live your own live
Live in a cocoon
It is better to live in
Your own bubble
Than be beaten by these
Ignorant and arrogant people
With a nasty old broom

They were not good then
They are not good now
They will never be good
No matter how well they
Act sad and act as if
They repent

Stop this insanity
You lost your interest
In ruminating
At least now you figure
These people will only
Enrich your life with
Calamity

Scene from Steven King's IT

Well said, beautiful poem

A police officer sees a drunken man intently searching the ground near a lamppost and asks him the goal of his quest. The inebriate replies that he is looking for his car keys, and the officer helps for a few minutes without success then he asks whether the man is certain that he dropped the keys near the lamppost.

“No,” came the reply, “I lost the keys somewhere across the street.” “Why look here?” asks the surprised and irritated officer. “The light is much better here,” the intoxicated man responds with aplomb.
