Muddled about Life
MUDDLED ABOUT LIFE !
Am I really living life?
Or simply surviving every strife?
As my head throbs out loud,
As my heart aches without a sound,
Pangs of bitterness flow.
Where’s that zeal, gone so low?
I search within, deep inside
Wondering who’s on my side,
Trying to listen to that voice within
That mask of conspiracy waving through
My conscience pricking without a clue.
Muddled in thoughts,
Muddled in my emotions wrought.
I hope I’ll find that gem crystal clear,
Finally conquer over my fears.
I may still stand a chance
I have that one last chance
Of living like the way I want,
Bringing smiles without a frown.
That hope of life is burning bright,
Burning through the darkness of the night.
I was muddled and frustrated. Wondering what I was doing with my life. Not that life was mean to me. No, not at all. Just that I did not seem too kind to life. Struggling with thoughts and emotions, penning my thoughts actually helped me feel much better. I felt some relief. And, my request to anyone feeling muddled, depressed, angry or anything like that, please, instead of letting your own negative thoughts eat you up, pause for a moment, attempt to find peace and positivity. For, there's lots of treasures to be found in life. Life itself is a celebration!
