If peace is happiness then why am I not happy? Because I know I am peaceful I guess I don’t know what peace is then But how do I find out? And I hope peace is not being with God Because there is no God, at least not for me Because if there was, I would be happy And if I was happy, then I would also be peaceful But I know I’m peaceful So does that mean that I believe in God? If I do, why am I telling myself that I don’t? That would be like fighting with my own thoughts And war isn’t peace But I don’t know any of this for sure Because I keep contradicting myself My thoughts constantly trip over eachother And how should I bring love into this mess? Shouldn’t love be related to peace and happiness? Or are they all the same? Or are they completely different? If peace is happiness, then why am I not happy? Because I know I am peaceful... And if love is peace, then being peaceful would mean that I’m in love And what if I am, and I just don’t know it yet... There’s nothing I can do about it.... If I start praying to God would that make me a hypocrite? I think it might be a little naive for me to pray for peace Because we all know that peace can never be achieved completely A seperate peace is what we’re all looking for A peace apart from all others A complete peace that makes everyone happy There I go again with happiness I wish peace, love, and happiness were all people Because that way we could see how they got along Or if they did at all.... Why can’t this world be peaceful... Maybe it’s because we lack love
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem during my algebra class because I was extremely bored. I often block out my teacher's voices, because they seem to drone on and on endlessly, and I sink into my thoughts, my feelings, etc. I was contemplating things and just writing down random thoughts that flew by, and I guess you can call anything poetry, so that's how this poem came about.
