My poem to life....

nothing unusual today.. same thing at work.. emails, calls, coffee at my left hand side and the same set of music playing over and again until i get to pick another list.. there's this song that unusually aroused my thoughts about life.. i get to hear it everyday but today, it just brought me into abysmal thoughts of my life.. i only have this to share with you. a poem about how i see life. about my life. and here it goes..



born to this world of hope and life
demands no more than the ability to live
brought up in the light of comfort and joy
shielded, protected and hindered from what would be no less than reality
it didnt have to be that simple.. placid and glorious
but it was..

and then you blossom..
sometimes bewildered, sometimes overjoyed
you try and see.. you cry and cheer
explore and learn. you mold yourself
that was all that there is.. the 'friendly' truth.
it works its way through you. like a worm in your mind, heart even soul
slowly it reaches you, through the core
but you can just deny it.. confine truth and its very existence
it didnt have to be that easy..
but it was..

in time you awaken..
not a power to deny life and its laws
not even the strength to fight it
it's there right in yourself.. it makes you
it becomes you
it asks for more than what you are willing to give
and you fight, you struggle
you gamble for a single moment of joy, victory and glory
it's weakening and much too disconcerting
it doesn't have to be that complicated, but it is
you can't change it.. that's exactly what it is..

with the truth i have learned to embrace..
i begin to think..
i don't have to be this happy and passionate about life
But I AM...
