Most Disturb Others But Seek Harmony For Self

Worry wanted to be with me
I said, I am overloaded with happy moments, can't carry you
Worry said don’t worry
Your kind are few, shall find many to carry me

Joy wanted to be with me
I said, you are like sugar, come dissolve in me
Joy said it’s my privilege
As others use me as object but you want to be one with me

Misery wanted to be with me
I said, I am a fighter, you may choose your time
Misery said your courage shames me
Your kind are few, others do all sorts of gimmicks to ward me off  

Harmony wanted to be with me
I said, you are the most sought, please come for stay
Harmony said your inner peace is perfect for me
Your kind are few, most disturb others but seek harmony for Self
