Pillars

[hippie_chick666]

Pillars on the fire's edge,
creeping amongst the shadows.

Choosing each pace carefully,
measured and concise.

Hiding from these men of the wild
Trampsing about the raging flames.

No need to hide, just jump right in,
grab a mug of Blue Moon and begin!

Drink and be merry, fellow travellers!
For once we were like you but now we are free.

Happiness is what you make of it.
It doesn't exist outside yourself.
It is always there for you to grasp,
but not everyone knows that secret.

The depths of depression can hide it,
obscure the truth behind a veil of misery.
If you want it bad enough,
that veil can be lifted from your eyes,
maybe with some help from your friends.

Everyone needs a support net,
a group of people who care enough
to say, "Be careful. Your choices
are leading you astray from your own happiness,
even though you think they will bring you it."
These are the people you want to cherish.

They will guide you on your own path,
but you are the one who must walk,
walk the path of happiness.

Peace and love
