LIFE, I NEED A HUG
For the sorrow thrown my way by those who should be caring
For the trouble that keeps on chasing me no matter how fast I try to run
For the heartbreaks I had to endure in the hands of people whose love I really deserve
For the endless string of poverty that always puts me at the centre stage of suffering
Life, I need a hug, please!
For the trauma I was put through by heartless and careless souls around me
For exposing my eyes to the most horrible scenes in the world
For the bad things said about me that my ears unconsciously heard
For having friends who look like doves of peace yet bite like sharks of the sea
Life, I need a hug, please!
For giving out my heart to love only for it to be ripped into pieces consistently
For breathing the same air with those who came to the world to cause chaos and havoc
For watching my dreams crash helplessly only to be comforted with an old cliché of "One day it will be okay" as if I am not good enough to achieve today
For drowning in the pool of problems and be pampered with nice and kind words covered with pure pretence
Life, I need a hug, please!
I need a hug because the world is weighing heavily on my shoulders
I need a hug because I struggle to breathe as life challenges constantly strangle me
I need a hug because everything I touch falls and I have no strength to bend and pick it up
I need a hug because I know that nature does not have to dislike me this much
And I will hang in here until that hug arrives and change my fortunes
And because I was not cursed, I know I don't deserve to wait a little bit longer.
