Incredibly well written. It’s very relatable, haikus are hard to write.

Sometimes, yes, but in the "olden days" it was pronounced 'pome' as it is here, making the count correct. :)

&quot;Believe it or not, you are in control of your own life. you are the reason why you&#039;re sad. And you are the reason why you&#039;re happy. So don&#039;t wait for happiness. Go out and find it. Right now. And don&#039;t let anyone else tell you otherwise.&quot;

&quot;My role in society, or any artist&#039;s or poet&#039;s role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.&quot;

I like it but you have to many syllables in the 2nd line a haiku is 5 7 5 not 5 8 5 but its still pretty well written.
