tired

Drowning.

It fills my heart with joy,
When I see my friends,
Succeeding in life.
It fills my heart with pride,
When I see my friends,
Winning in life.
But, it would be a lie,
That I feel joyous, all the time,
For, the truth is, I don’t.
I don’t lie, for I can’t,
I’m not happy, not because,
I see people living their dreams,
But, because, I see, myself,
Still standing, at the same place,
where I stood, a year ago,
and have moved a step, ahead.
And It’s filling my heart with glum,
But all I do is,
try to wipe the sadness away,
By drowning my night,
in a bottle of rum.

-Tired.

Tired soul.

I never restrained myself,

from loving my people.

Love is feeling, that brings bliss,

in your life, in others life.

This is what I used to think, before.

This is what I believed in, before.

But people always tend to prove me, wrong.

Every moment in life, when I loved, someone,

all I got in return was betrayal and suffering.

Was it my fault, to expect from people,

whom I loved and thought they loved me, too?

Tired, I am of these people now.

Here, now, I sit beneath this tree,

Under its shadow, I feel, now, so free,

Under its shadow, I, now realise,

All people, whom I love, do is hurt me.

– Tired soul.

Do not give up.

I know, you’re tired.

I know, it’s been tough.

Life has become so rough.

Betrayal, sorrow, despair.

I, too, know how it feels.

Life has been testing you,

Life always does that.

After a stormy night, 

Dawns a sun, beautiful and bright.

So, do not give up, my friend.

Not so easily, not without a fight.

Do not give up. Look up into the sky. 

You see those thunderous clouds there?

Once these clouds disappear. 

You will see, you will see, not afar, 

Is the sky, the moon and the stars.

– Hope.
