I Learnt To Live

So what do you think is life ? Does it mean just to survive? If u never thOught over it, I would like to tell u a bit. Its not merely existing my dear, Your own voice u need to hear. Some good advice I’d like to give, This is how I learnt to live. I took life too seriously, and God gave me misery. I held it too tight, and I couldn’t see the ray of light, That God beams on all his children, to help them out of life’s burden. Then I left it too free and didn’t have any dreams, God stopped helping me, as it seems. Nothing affected me, I was indifferent, At that moment , a message was sent.. God said to me, here come to me, You have nothing to do on earth as I see. I was afraid, I was tense, I wondered, “ Does my life make any sense” ? On every little thing, I was crying, On all petty things, I felt like dying. There was no inspiration, just congestion. Where am I going, I thought, Thru all these years, what have I got ?? What is it that I finally want to achieve? What is the dream that I just cannot leave? I must have a dream for which I shall fight, At that instant, I saw some light. The light shone on me, It still helps me to see. Whenever I’m lost, in the life’s frost. I know my destination, my heart is filled with elation. Now , I am ready, walking steady, towards my dream, towards my goal. I feel so complete, I feel so whole, I had the courage to look into my soul. And if you don’t have a dream, you are trapped in life’s mist, You are not living , you just exist.

Your poetry on one hand emancipates my heart and crushes me on the other by asking that why is it that I can't with you share the pain. Was it all about good times and not the bad we share. It's not showing sympathy rather empathizing with your thing brings tears to my eyes. Please come back. Allow yourself to share with me.
