In pursuit of happiness
-To a friend who will get out of the temporary depression
I confess
I shouldn’t have gifted you a GPS
Zoom in
You are the moving little blue pin
Heading the direction told by the machine
Following that thing
Lost in a one way street
I promise
I will give you a map and a compass
Zoom out
You are the moving self on a map that’s spread out
Circle the destination you picked out
Remembering the direction
Arrive there no questions found
Something agreed upon
It’s not just easier the other way round
It’s because you are backing out
Being the little blue pin
Facing the constant changing scene on the screen
Battling with the machine
It’s not that hard to get dizzy
With the map and compass
You obtain the confidence
Two U turns bring you to the original place
Three right turns lead you onto the left fence
You count and control the numbers
You know exactly where you are on the maps
Many thanks to the broader views
Admitting there are issues
You are holding the steering wheel
Driving towards the general directions
No annoying interruptions
You maintain your self-awareness
You sustain your independence
Toss that fancy GPS
Grab the map and compass
Seize the fire with the machine
You will find yourself in
Pursuit of happiness
