I asked for happiness
He gave me melancholy
I asked for colorful dreams
He gave me blurred life
I asked for mellow rays
He gave me hot blazing sunrays
I asked for tears of joy
He gave me tears of grief
Why? I asked him
He flashed a simple smile
May be he is making me strong
Or is this my destiny, I
wondered
I feel like giving up at times
I don’t see any reason to go on
But I am not a loser, my mind
argues
And I strive harder to be keep
going on
Then I err; there I fall
I lose my confidence
In darkness, I hunt for the
lost determination
I ponder deep within
Can I reinvent myself, I introspect
Good old days cannot be gone
forever
Where has the optimism
vanished, I ponder
I sigh and then smile believing
that He is still watching…
