I just realised

There are certain things in life

You can't do anything about

They just come and go

Without telling you so.

Can't even begin to talk

Of how pathetic things can get...

And you just keep sitting on your fears

Not seeing there are other things other than your own life

That matter in this world...

That you need to open your eyes

And face reality.

Here you were

Crying about how life sucks,

How things seem to go wrong every time

Without reason or rhyme.

Cribbing is what all you did

To yourself or to the others.

Who cares who!

But there were things bigger than that

That could happen to me and you.

It is sad how one thinks of just oneself

Not wanting to understand things

Trying to ignore the world around.

But open your eyes, open your ears

And get accustomed to hearing other sounds

Other than your own sad song.

Today is this

Yesterday was that.

Try not make your tomorrow

A thing of the past.

Don't make yourself so,

That after a while

It's difficult to even recognize yourself.

There are others who've been through worst.

Understood

There are things you've been through...

But isn't it enough already

Aren't they things of the past anyway?

Why talk about them now

And burden yourself more?

Let bygones be bygones.

Tell yourself its' over.

Gone, long gone...

Learn from them and let them go

That's all you need to do.

Get up, smile, walk tall.
