The Pursuit of Happiness

The Pursuit of Happiness

A Poem by peyton s

Who knew a person could be filled with so much love
A person filled with so much hate
Who has no stories
All he ever wanted was a family
A man who is so confused
A boy who is so lost

The never ending road of thoughts to which he was lost
Wishing he could just find that one person to share the love
Always wanting the answer to the problem of why he is confused
Wanting to know why he is consumed in negativity and hatred
Not receiving the attention needed from anyone or his family 
All he ever wanted was a hint, a clue, or even a story

Never listening to the put downs or hurtful stories
Wondering through life not knowing where to turn or when to admit he is lost
Doubtful who to trust and who to call family
Craving the acceptance and love
Trying to run away from disappointment and hate
Praying not to turn the wrong way but everything is so foggy and confusing

All he wants is to get to the other side of this giant wall of confusion
always wondering where he came from but can't figure out the stories
Attempting to dodge the snowballing effect of hate
So much focus is put on this and now he is lost
Now he just searches for the person that wants his love
He can't find one person, not even his family

Now he wonders if there is such a thing as a family
Nothing now can stop these muggy thoughts and confusion
Could this be the end of his search for love?
Could this be the end to all of his stories?
Wondering if he can settle with being lost
Still advising himself that there is more to life than hate

There is now glimpses of the stress being relieved for there is no more hate
Through the slowly clearing fog he can see his mother and the rest of his family
Could it be that he is no longer lost?
There is no longer a never ending maze of mass confusion
It now seems there is faith of where he is from and the tale of his stories
Has he finally finished searching for love?

It appears that all of his hate and confusion have vanished
He has found his family and heard the stories of who he is and what he was
He is no longer lost and has reached his objective, love.
