Bigger

I need to realize that the
Universe is bigger than me.

My friends have their own lives,
My family has things to do,
Strangers have places to be
Without time to smile or say thank-you.

The world will not
Stop spinning
To watch tears fall down my face.

The sun and the moon will not
Interchange
When I need a day to end,

For,
Today may be the best day of
Someone else's life.

So I'll look in the mirror,
Blurred with tears and a bad self image,
And tell myself that the Universe

Doesn't
Revolve
Around me.

Today, Happiness

appears to merely be a selfish state of bliss where one is ignorant to every problem in the world and solely focused on a single good detail of the day.

But that's just today.
