Never Give Up.. Poem by Darshan Joshi

They says beginnings are very tough
A step ahead with hope and faith
Courage driven by fear is rough
But we all cross paths with fate
What is meant to happen will happen
It doesn’t matter how hard you try
But knowing destiny is way more powerful
Doesn’t stop us in our journey, does it
With bruises and scarce we walk the path
In spite of bleeding heart we choose to love
With shivering hand we hold on to others
With our legs tied on to a heavy chain
Of pleasant and wounding memories
We drag and crawl but move forward
Things which were once important in past
Are in a bin with things that doesn’t matter
Eyes which was once filled with pool of tears
Has dried up and pain has shifted to fragile heart
A heart which manages to beat
With all the heaviness it carries with it
Still we have a place for love in it
Realizing now, as much as joy is part of life
Sorrow is too which mold us for who we are
Exhausted of running from qualms
And fear of being unhappy
We rather embrace both bliss and grief
When you hold on to something tightly
You either end up feeling nothing or losing it
And letting go will always make room for something new
We meditate not to get rid of sadness and sorrow
But to accept it and deal with it
Best thing of sadness and negative emotions is
As soon as you accept they become obsolete
And thoughts which once made you crazy
Loose its powers and vanishes away
So if you going through a hard time in life
Probably you are the one with more wisdom
Nothing is ever going to stop in this universe
It will keep changing and moving all the time
So there is no point on being stuck
As it doesn’t matter where you end up
And in this one life we have no choice
But to love it and live it until one day
When you will be one of the shining stars
Twinkling to make heaven look beautiful
