Bad times in life

When shadows form and skies are grey,
When hope is gone so far away,
Remember the storms will someday clear,
And one day light will break my fear.

In silent nights, when eyes fill with tears,
I whisper all my doubts even though no one hears,
Through scars and pain, I find my ways,
And without complaining I spend those days.

I know every road has some turns unknown,
And in every season a seed is sown,
Still I don’t know which road to take,
And which seed should I propagate.

If I fail, I will restart,
Because it is the most underrated art,
Pursuing my journey with each step and each breath,
Even in the situation of life & death.

While facing failure from time to time,
I wonder if those blessings are worth a dime,
And now I cannot say if I will ever find
A place to rest a restless mind.

We are living in the digital world, covered in the autonomous aspects & tracked motions of life. Yet, somehow we are losing some critical elements. Keyboards, touchpads, & speech-to-text are there, but we believe that handwritten words on paper is still meaningful to some poets.
