To Have Joy or Not to Have Joy

To have joy, or not to have joy

that is the question.

to suffer the slings and arrows of trial and misery,

to declare war opon yourself for your how heart ach.

to die,

without a single moment in your life where you felt happy.

to sleep,

as simple as that.

to sleep takes you away from the world and its follies.

to reject what the world wants for you.

we sleep to ardently find that calm, joyful moment

where we dont have to worry about what people expect from us.

to die.

to sleep.

to sleep to dream.

as a child our dreams where limitless.

we could be, do, or have anything we wanted.

to have that joy again would be the day!

but alas we all know that this world does not accept our childish dreams.

why would we not let joy back into our day,

to let every moment have its perks,

yet we are grown, we are not alowed to have those mements.

who would tolerate the innocents and childishness of the world?

so thinking on it makes cowards of us all!

if we do not do,

the thing that we have said we want

we are hypocrites.

change the minds of the people around you by the way you live!

if you be joyful,

people will envy that.

one

by

one

we could change the face of this planet,

we could change the day of the average human.

why do we think that when we grow up

the world will not allow happiness and joy?

it is not over you like a parent, you can change it.

wether you believe it or not is your choice.

your life is what what you make it,

so BE joyful!

even if the world will not allow it.

its not their decision.
