IN THE SEARCH OF CONTENTMENT ...
SHORT POEM

In the search of contentment 
Which was there within me...
Didn't realise what and where it was..
But I searched it for a cause.  
The cause was happiness . 
In the search of contentment 
Which I knew I was going to find sooner or later 
But who knew Life was such a traitor 
Every time I found it , it ran away from me 
I kept on chasing it,  I ran in the search of it. 
Who knew what I was chasing was in turn chasing me..
In the search of contentment 
Which took me to greater heights 
Couldn't see what's behind me 
All I could see was a flying kite .
Flying kite that carried hope 
Hope that had vision and scope 
In the search of contentment 
I went on to chase the desire that had left me hungry 
My soul was now a tad bit angry 
I was tired for it had been a long journey 
But the journey seemed to be successful..
At the end of the road what I saw was a mirror 
Life then sighed to me 
What u have been finding 
Was all in here !
I then sighed to life. .What, in the mirror ?
Yes it said ... Contentment was within you ..
In the search of contentment 
I went on discovering myself 
I lived the life, that was within me..
Now I can say in the search of contentment
I found the real me !
