The road to unhappiness

Do we run to hide,
or find what we are missing
Are we looking to the future,
or sadly reminiscing

Our life is an adventure,
our dreams we hold so dear
Whether they are far away,
or around the block from here

Are we always on the right track,
in our quest for new domain
Does it have to be extreme,
or can it be mundane

As a human we seek inner peace,
does that mean to be alone
Can we be happy in our loneliness,
finding comfort on our own

Or do we stand up to our past,
tell it we won’t flee
This is exactly; who I am,
and who I want to be

Our troubles chase us far away,
make us want to hide
Are they things we can’t control,
will they not subside

When we find what we do seek,
is it really what we want
Are the lessons learned along the way,
worthy of our flaunt

Or do we seek the solace,
of a gentle voice inside
Telling us to face the past,
throw away our ill felt pride

Will it be too late for that,
are they far beyond repair
To waste your life and run away,
to a journey of despair

And in the end is what you found,
the same as why you went
Have your passions changed at all,
or have you found a new torment
