Dear Life! I'M Not Mad At You Poem by Piyush Dey

Dear Life! I'M Not Mad At You

Rating: 4.0


Dear Life! I'm not mad at you,
just a little weary...
Stumped by the seemingly innocent
questions you keep throwing at me
Somehow I never thought that
I'll have to handle pains in order to live happily
Never realized that I'll
have to pay a debt for each smile
Now every time I smile,
I am reminded of the debt
that's weighing on my lips.

Dear Life! But it's not as if
these pains are without purpose...
Because each pain makes me aware of
things I never noticed before...
It is only in the scorching heat that
we come to know of the relief a cool shade brings.

So today, if my eyes well up,
I'll cry as long as I want to
Because who knows,
tomorrow I may long for these very tears
And then, where will I look for this lone tear drop,
That I had hidden away for so long?

A deep philosophical write that questions the pains and promise of life and to rejoice and value what life actually is, a classroom of experience.

It is only in the scorching heat that we come to know of the relief a cool shade brings. Beautifully profound and meaningful lines in a very well conceived poem! Light is accentuated by darkness. Through pains and sorrows, we learn many things in life which would have gone unlearnt. As gold is purified by the tongues of flame, we get purified in spirit through the trials of life! Enjoyed reading! A sure 10

It is through adversities that we become more sober and mature! Life cannot always serve sweet wine in a goblet, occasionally we have to drink life's bitter juice too! A very contemplative write on the ups and downs of life. Enjoyed!
