As I climb closer to my age of grey,
Pick traits and leave some on the way.
I find myself in the dark woods of emotions,
Amidst bothersome howls and wails today.
The company I have are tough contenders,
My ecosystem often smells vile.
Sellers of faux pas in a market of lies,
Of pretentious tears and deceitful smiles.
Fake amity and real animosity
Tables turned secrete poison,
Unkind words run deeper than blood,
Denial of love and compassion.
My bubble’s built of bricks
Crashing against the unwavering sea,
Of toxicity and people’s misdoings
And all things dark in its vicinity.
A herculean task but I stay headstrong
Don’t let the bubble, however brittle, break,
I practice goodness and draw my Karma
Yogic agility to relieve my aches.
My emotions grow like wild weeds,
I water those beautiful and let them grow,
Leave the unpleasant ones unattended so,
Evade storms in my boat’s row.
When surrounded by such negativity,
Keeping positive is quite an achievement.
I wake up everyday with hope,
Of achieving more, losing bereavement.
Life's been tough lately,
And when will it ever be not?
But humility and compassion I keep close
Some gem of friends make jewel of a lot.
I may stumble and stutter sometimes,
But I always get back on my feet.
I may cry sometimes, but still strong,
And that's what keeps my heart sweet.
