Sestina

In life you must make yourself Happy
It will keep your mind Free
It is how you stay Young
It is ours to Create
It is ours to Live
This incredible Journey


We find ourselves in this Journey
Figure out what makes us Happy
If we can't find happiness, then happiness we Create
It doesn't matter if you're old or Young
Freedom isn't Free
But it's the price we pay to Live


We fight, scratch, claw and bite to Live
So that when we reach the end of our Journey
We can be Happy
Then offspring we Create
So innocent and Young
We fight so they can be Free


They will try to keep us caged, they fear when we are Free
They don't want to see us Live
They stifle our Journey
They oppress our Happy
They don't let us Create
They keep us from being Young


But we are Young
We are Free
We are Happy
We take the Journey
We Live
And we Create


Because when we Create
We feel Young
And Free
We don't take for granted the opportunity to Live
This is our Journey
And we will live it Happy


I'm Happy because I Create
I'm Free and I am Young
I will successfully Live this sweet Journey

  1. Interesting! This becomes an epic battle between we/us versus they. Yet we prevails! Because the word "young" is used, I find myself wondering if this is a battle between young people and adults. Or is there a "The Man" type antagonist?
