Those dark and dim days which come,
They leave you alone - stranded and numb.
Life hinges on the tenterhooks,
Neither music heals nor do books.
Life seems awfully pensive and long,
Comprising of no rights, but a gigantic wrong.
It appears, as though the world has come crashing down,
Your face has no smiles, but only a forced frown.
Outburst of hidden angst and ache,
Suddenly difficulties seem all-awake.
You feel mashed, thrashed and defeated,
You wonder why the spirit of your soul, has faded.
Hope and faith dwindle day by day,
Nothing helps to keep your wicked thoughts, at bay.
That’s when; belief in oneself becomes a myth,
Leaving you with past regrets and present filth.
You are lost and you are unable to trace your way,
You are grasped by deadly nights and pale days.
Why do these days seem as eternity? You ask yourself.
You wanna get rid of them, you wail, you yelp.
You ponder, whether God’s even lending an ear to your cries,
Then why is it that you are amidst this, despite of a hundred tries!
Problems simply seem to be never-ending,
Hitting you hard on the bone, they keep you bending!
You are weighed down by agony, misery and ill-fate,
Yet, you try all hard to stand up straight!
You promise to never bend or stoop again,
Because predicaments are, but a blessing in bane!
Problems – are Almighty’s own way of teaching you,
Rise up, shine up and with your own might, you can do!
Dump each worry and woe – with all your might,
Believe in yourself, and you will forever be right!
And then, there’s a ray of hope that shines,
Really, this planet ain’t for the one who frets and whines!
Unleash the strength that you’ve got in you,
Show the world – with your prowess, that you too can do!
You thought that life was never gonna be the same,
And for believing that, you must take the blame!
You made it more severe, the culprit was you!
Surprising, how quickly the bad times flew!
And don’t ever regret about the past,
Forget about the times bygone, and have a blast!
Learn from your mistakes, forget them, and move on.
Bring the smile back, laugh hard and don’t remain forlorn.
When loneliness, pessimism and dejection seem to reign,
Be an optimist, grab the silver lining and life won’t be that mean.
Stop the tears and remember you are a star,
You gotta show it to the masses – even miles afar!
You will fight back, even though, you know it’s so very complicated.
Your struggle would define your existence, and that’s how you’d be rated!
