If anybody asks me if I am happy <br />I would definitely say I am not <br />Having lost the meaning of happiness <br />between now and last night, I am sad. <br /> <br />Tomorrow, if anybody asks the same <br />I would jump in glee and say yes <br />I am definitely because there's me <br />The other side that longs to be free. <br /> <br />Yet again, in the future if time's short <br />And nothing is going right with work <br />I would be lost for words on what counts <br />For happiness - my freedom or serfdom. <br /> <br />You make me jump in anticipation <br />Whenever you have the gumption <br />But somewhere your procrastination <br />Causes a break in my exultation... <br /> <br />If it only depended on me, I work alone <br />but so much hinges on what you want done <br />Your heart divided, your mind shattered <br />We fell short, we are now fettered...<br /><br />Doris Cornago<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-divided-mind-shattered/
