Life Does Not Run Smoothly Poem by Ravi Kopra

Life does not run smoothly.
Little hurdles - sometimes huge -
come our way everyday and one way
or the other we overcome them
and go on living.

But sometimes, for no reason,
or over some minor trifle
we feel uneasy and queasy
and want some time off
to get it off our minds.

And if someone in the interim says
we are stewing over nothing
and it is foolish to not let
it go off instantaneously,
to me it is condescending
talking down, belittling.
And I say to him: buzz off buster
go live with your own reasoning.
