Don’t hide the heart from the Sun
Sometimes mind can be wayward in its journey
Intoxicated by the pessimistic mantras
Deprived of happy feelings, heart becomes indolent
Intrigued by the echoes from a hollow heart
Infirm hands struggle to reach out to embrace positivity
Negativity untiringly cascades to deluge hope
It’s fatiguing to keep breathing in submerged life
Sun’s intensity is not enough to wean away copious tears
Furtive glances at life miss the dreams and opportunities
Brightness becomes many shades lighter
Ashen face willingly seeks to engage with deviant nights
Gloomy stories narrated become typical memoirs
Biggest fallacy is to be one’s own adversary
When the world around seeks to propagate cynicism
Greatest failure of existence is deeply rooted in the psyche
It’s a challenge to severe ties from indoctrinations
Foundations are to be laid with strong resolve
Change the direction of life towards meaningful perseverance
Allow the Sun to intrude and let the mind be illuminated©
