Things are not always as we want them to be
Hopeless situations,
When all you can do is surrender yourself,
When even trying to smile,
You are so groped up with sadness that you can't,
You are giving your best to everything,
Trying your hard to make the circumstances favor you,
But,sadly you failed,
Because Things are not always as we want them to be.
Waking up in the morning,
You realise its a good start,
But as the day progresses,
Your inner miseries engulfs you again,
You are reminded of those sad moments,
That you had been in some time ago,
Nobody consoled you, instead left you on your own,
You were helpless,all you could do was surrender yourself,
Because Things are not always as we want them to be.
When the night falls,
Looking at the twinkling stars anigh,
Tears well up in your eyes,
Memories flood past by,
When you discern that even though you were surrounded by a pelagic of people,you were alone,
That feeling is so painful yet unexplainable,you feel like giving up on everything and dying,
You gave your best in everything,
Trying to save your relations,
But, you crashed down,
Because Things are not always as we want them to be.
