Nomthi Zoleka Lusiti - Sometimes

Sometimes you feel that you found what you were always looking for
Only to find out it never was
Sometimes you look for something far away
Only to realize it later that you took a fruitless trip
Searching for something you do not really need.

Sometimes we go through worthless troubles
Looking for happiness all over the world
Only to find out we are looking for pain and agony
Sometimes we don’t even have a clue of what
Really looking for but keep on looking.

Sometimes our pursuits for happiness end up being
In pursuit of hell
Sometimes one has to make the best out of what one already has
As sometimes those greener pastures turn up to be darker
And as they say better keep your old horse than to train new a one.

Sometimes we even loose the best for the worst
Because the worst is always more attractive than the best
Sometimes we tend to look for the shiny cover
And realize it later that that was just a cover
That is why sometimes we really miss the right bus!
