If you wait upon
Forgiveness from the outside
It may never come
If you wait upon
Happiness from the outside
It may never come
It you wait upon
Loveliness from the outside
It may never come
If you decide, now
Forgiveness from the inside
It will come to you
If you decide, now
Happiness from the inside
It will come to you
If you decide, now
Loveliness from the inside
It will come to you
Yes
It will come to you
Yes
It will come to you
It will come to you
Now

Note: I wrote and published this poem today on my blog, the 8th of July, 2019 in a free verse style of poetry although it started as a haiku poem but I thought I needed to expand upon the thought so it ended up 6 haiku poems in one with some free verse to tie it all together at the end.

So many people today totally rely on the external environment to make them happy, otherwise they totally psychologically crumble to bits.
The aware and wise can put themselves in any environment and still stay happy and content, of course if we are conditioned from birth to look for happiness and contentment externally, conditioning ourselves to be truly aware and wise is going to be a struggle. However, once this state is embedded in our consciousness, happiness and contentment is always found internally, no matter what.
Be Blessed,
