No end in sight....

 

How do you keep going on with no end in sight?

Do you keep walking without a destination?

How do you relentlessly keep going?

Keep going,

And going at it…

when you don’t know what will happen?

Faith and hope - They say is the secret,

Faith in something, someone, some universal power,

That it will be alright,

And everything will be okay,

That it will all workout in the end…

I wonder who gives this guarantee…

Faith is the guarantee,

An unshakable optimism,

Faith and hope,

Sounds good, I think, too good to be true,

Maybe there are things in this world which are too good to be true,

And they are true too,

Maybe you just have washed your brain with sorrow,

And to dry it up you need the warm rays of hope and faith,

Why so serious?

Why so cynical?

Why so skeptical?

Life is just a few moments long,

Those who want to die seem to be living forever,

And those who want to live seem to die sooner,

You never know when you have to go,

So why taint this existence of two days with so much sorrow,

Why not live?

With hope and faith,

With happiness and belief,

That everything will be okay,

Even if it is not,

And everything will be fine,

That one day all your efforts will come to fruition,

Everything happens for a reason,

Good or bad who knows?

Fate, destiny, whatever you call it,

There is some power in this world,

There are some events in life which change you,

Some which break you,

Some which make you,

And the ones that break you are the ones that make you,

Hindsight is 20/20,

Connecting the dots backwards is easier,

I know…it is easier to keep going,

When you know that there is some kind of certainty, 

That is why you have safe jobs, safe careers, safe lives, all planned out,

However, even when there is no certainty,

I want you to keep that kind of courage,

And hope,

And faith,

The one which keeps you going,

Even without the end in sight,

Because the end will appear,

Sooner or later,

It will appear,

And when the end comes,

It may be sad,

It may be nice,

Nevertheless, let’s see that when it comes…

And no, I am not telling you to hide with a mask of positivity,

It is way better to think life is cheerful than miserable, 

As it gives you a will to live,

It is way better to hope and try rather than frown and fail anyway.

The world is filled with misery, 

One cannot escape it,

So, it is way better to keep faith and live than die anyway.

It feels weird putting out the poetry I wrote long back, now... I had written this during lockdown when everything seemed so bleak, I was preparing for exams and they seemed to get postponed and the end result was frustration...

Anyways no sadness, if I start I keep going... I have a penchant for melancholy, you might figure that out if you read my other poetry....
