Nothing in this world can take your smile away
Nothing on the Earth can set you limits today
Don't let people control your feelings
Just do what your heart beats for and is good for you!
Do not want more
Than you really need, let your mind be the only compass that leads.
Live for your happiness but remember, that real happiness isn't terrestrial
Beyond death there's nothing left to own
Even your thoughts will be shown...
Written for Poppy's March Prompt:
About the Creator
The daughter of silence
It all started when Echo was five. She kept having these nightmares where she would just fall into a dark pit, screaming insanely loud, yet no one, not even her own parents would hear her. It was terrifying. But the most horrible part was that when she'd wake up panting, her parents were nowhere to be found, just like in her dream. She'd always cry herself to sleep alone and helpless.

Wonderful poem to describe how to take our life in control.
Well said. You are in control of YOU.
The mind is a grand landscape, an undiscovered country. This was quite clever and well-wrought! Write on!
I loved the secondary poem of the words in bold. Excellent work Anna
I love the message of this poem. ❤️ Well done.
What a lovely poem and message. How very true that our thoughts control us, and sometimes not for the best. Well done.
Clever work sending an additional message through the Bold words.
Wow… “ nothing can control you more than your own thoughts.” Brilliant! So so true ❤️😉❤️
Good job! If I might offer a critique, or suggestion, I think you should be write a poem that begins with (or at least is centered around) this part: "Live for your happiness but remember, that real happiness isn't terrestrial Beyond death there's nothing left to own Even your thoughts will be shown..." Exploring this idea and theme has the potential for a stronger poem, in my opinion. It works as it is, but I think you could expand on it more and make it even stronger.
