Poetry of life
Life has a way of breaking us
No matter how strong we are
It brings us to our knees
Sometimes, we’re forced to kiss the earth.
Life, indeed, is in phases
Good and bad; smooth and rough
All are phases.
Things happen;
They happen TO some, and happen FOR others
For some, life isn’t fair
For others, the challenges spice up life.
The fainthearted lament
Sitting and telling tales of how bad and unfair life is.
When beaten, they remain on the ground
Tears gushing from swollen eyes,
With their big mouths open.
The strength it takes to cry
The same it takes to fight
Crying and lamenting attracts sympathy;
Fighting back attracts applauds and accolades
Choose your attraction… and that, wisely.
