I am done with cleaning the house,
I am done with buying and giving gifts,
I am done with seeking validation,
I am done with pleasing others,
I am done with looking for happiness,
I am done with deciphering meaning in the written word,
I am done with being inspired by the spoken word,
I am done with finding peace and calm without.
This diwali, I am lighting a light within.
Seeking all answers from within,
Looking for happiness within,
Finding the eluding peace within.
For only I know what lies within.
Let’s all this diwali discover the self
And let its bright light shine through.
Happy Diwali.
