Peace Of Mind



I don't want riches, I want to be happy
I don't want a crowd of people, I want a few people who love me
I don't want to be appreciated, I want to be understood
I don't want flattery, I want subtle praise
I don't want a day of fun, I want small moments of bliss
I don't want to hear sweet lies, I want to face the bitter truth
I don't want the envious look, I want the look of respect
I don't want to be compared, I want to be left alone
I don't want the blaring noise, I want the soft music
I don't want to be bound to life, I want to be left free to enjoy it
I don't want a genius mind, I just want peace in it

Peace of mind.


~ Soumya

      Not necessarily Annie. I know a lot of people who would kill for everything I don't want.

      Again, not necessarily Red. Some people are just content with the first half of all my sentences.

    "I don't want to hear sweet lies, I want to face the bitter truth" impressed me most :o)

    First time here, and it seems like I am already hooked. :)

    "I don't want the envious look, I want the look of respect" Superb!

    I feel like someone speaking out my thoughts.

    I want peace of mind. :) I think when you have that, the other larger or smaller things, fall in place.

      True that! But the irony is that its the hardest thing to achieve.

      True. And that's the most difficult thing to attain.

    I also want whatever you said you wanted :-) Brilliantly put into words. This is pretty much what most people want.
