This Unfair World and Me

I’m sure you know how it feels

When you’re so down and so alone,

And you keep asking yourself

Why do you have to carry the world on your own?

 

But try turning the globe

To see what’s on the other side

Did you focus on those laughing clowns?

Or did you notice the weeping child?

 

If you see your sullen face

When you look at your reflection in the river

Bear in mind, all dots are connected in a circle

Unknown tears are hidden in that body of water

 

In case your heart is struggling to find the sun

Remember, a stranger is burning due to anger’s heat

By the time you’re hoping for your long day to end

Someone’s praying for just another heartbeat

 

So what’s the point in these words:

“This unfair world and me.”

When you haven’t seen the earth from the outer space?

But I’m not saying, we should find strength from others’ misery

We must stop wishing for the world to always tilt to our side

For we are the ones exaggerating our own agony

A lot of different yardsticks (or meter sticks) can be used to measure success. Nicely expressed.

WISH I COULD DREAM FOREVER


Selene, enchantress of the night,
Chain me with light
To this wonder –
My dream’s zephyr.

Let me drift to a paradise
Where no one lies,
And no disdain
Runs through my veins.

Whisper me Endymion’s curse –
Zeus’ spell verse,
So dire sunbeams
Won’t fail my dreams.
