Existing (understanding life)

We all the time think…

trying to understand the link.

Life, seems to takes away so much from us,

Always creating it a fuss.

It’s always in our minds,

Life has never been kind.

Stop… just go to other side,

And build your mind a little wide,

‘WANDER’, what have you given to life?

just before killing yourself with that knife.

I don’t think you will have a reply,

even if you force your mind to supply.

Just observe that pause,

understand the reason that has made it to cause.

You will have to do something about it,

because the reason lies in your wits.

Instead of getting tense,

It’s for you to make the difference.

Make life your friend,

and not your foe

Don’t introspect life,

instead reflect within you.

Because life is like a mirror,

what you reflect to life,

that is what you get back reflected to.

So, life can’t be different,

before you are ready to be different.

Stand up and make the difference in you!!!!!!!
