In Pursuit of Happiness

No im not talkin bout the movie thats what i decided to call my latest poem, i didnt mean to steal the movie's name but its the perfect name for the poem and i wasn't even thinkin of the movie when i came up with the poem.

Now that thats outta the way another point to clearout is, THIS POEM IS NOT ABOUT ME, ive been goin thru some sorta writers block for awhile and i came up with this in my history class it wasn't much at the begining of the class but come the end of class it looked pretty good and me likes it =).

Ive showed this to a couple of people already and even though one was close the other was way off so i decided not to po
st the actuall poem thinkin no1s gonna get what its about and if they dont then i may have been to vague bes i like the way it is and making it clearer would ruin it. So why am i posting? well me friend told me, "after you write something its no longer yours, its for people to intrepet" so here's the poem..





In Pursuit of Happiness

I long to feel a nothingness inside,
yet such a wish ive always been denied.
Only in its coldness do i find my comfort,
and only in its darkness do i feel alive.
This graceful act wont betray me,
only this act can bring me back my smile.


....


Can you tell me what you think the guy in the poem is talking about? I'll edit and explain it in a weeks time.


-------------------------------------------------


UPDATE

ok so a lil about the poem

The poem is a bout a guy whos given up on the world o kil ma feeha, hes depressed and he found his way out through this act which for him is the key to all his problems this act being...suicide.

Hello!! Mashallah great job!! It’s is sooo beautiful!!
Well well, I think that she/he needs to be left alone, to have some time off to think of nothing.. also he needs to do smthing, an “act” to be liberated or to reach “it”, a place or whatever “it”is…
Bs 3ad shno hal act.. hmmm madri, I need to spend more time with the poem :D
Bs 9ij 9ij GREAT job sweets..
Keep up the amazing work.. I loved it so much! I love the pic b3d, so dark and hmm 7elwa!

Good work...lovely poem :)
I think he's longing for something which he cannot obtain...something bad for him but he still wants it..
I cant quite put my finger on it though
Its a good poem though, and the picture matches it perfectly :)
