One day I sat,staring out of the window,
watching this world pass me by,
I thought theres nothing to live for,
I almost broke down and cried.
Why do things go against my will,
I cursed myself very bad.
Everything in life that happens to me,
depresses me, it makes me sad.
Headed to a tall cliff to jump off it,
my legs very swift and thoughts plain.
Then I saw him limping all the way,
selling balloons with a leg in pain.
Walked to a store to buy venom,
my throat very dry and thoughts plain.
Then I saw him charming a snake,
to get its poison for some unworthy gain.
"Last try!",I thought.I hurried home
for an electric shock with thoughts still plain.
On the way I saw a house with no lights,
deep in dark they were,yet happiness to remain.
To live is to compromise,to live is to take risks,
To live is to hope,I learnt it now.
I started living afresh,
with thanks to the One above!

ReplyDeleteTo live is to learn to live
ReplyDeleteTo live is to celebrate life
To live is to be content
To live is to go beyond life
I hope the above post was written as an observer to some thoughts rather than experiencing them. The post sounds scary to think of if someone were to say "To live is to compromise or take risks".
Really deep and touching, in this life we often feel discontent or helpless and are unable to observe the gifts God has given us. As a result such thoughts come into mind.
ReplyDeleteippude choosa!!
ReplyDeletegood poem.. nicely written..
