Poems about Unhappiness

Unhappiness Poems

by Sri Chinmoy

A life of unhappiness    
Is a contagious disease.
The world is already full of misery.
Allow not your unhappiness  
To increase the world's misery.

~

You want to end your unhappiness.
I tell you, there is one way
To end your unhappiness,
And that is to end your constant feeling
Of unpleasant unworthiness.

~

Do not allow unhappiness 
To capture your heart.  
Do you not know that unhappiness
Is the heart-cancer?

~

Today's unhappiness
Must not be kept for removal
Until tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be another day  
For me to either suffer new unhappiness
Or enjoy a flood of delight.  
Today's game I must play today  
Wisely and perfectly.
