Life/Tree

Autumn arrived,
and the leaves,
left the branches
of the tree all alone.
But the tree stood
right where it was,
still and strong.

For it knew,
they’ll come back.
For it knew,
that’s how the nature works.

So you, too,
stay strong and
don’t give up.
For you’re just
like a tree, and
the moments of
happiness you feel
are the leaves.

Happiness might’ve left
you alone, for now.
But it’ll come back.
It always comes back.
For that’s the nature
of happiness.
It comes and goes,
just like the wind,
it never stays still.

So be the tree here,
and stand still and strong.
For your roots are
not so weak that you will
give up so soon on life.

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.
