Life According To Balveen

If you look at life it is an entanglement of garter snakes
Heaps piled together without realising where to start
All of a sudden a head peeps and slithers out smoothly
Problems of life are magnanimously overbearing
The thought of untying the knots can blister the veins
But when you slowly open one knot at a time, 
It is unbelievably so smooth that you need to 
Flatten that silly, over imaginary bulging head 
With a piping hot frying pan! Make use of your brain-box!

Problems and failures are man's best enemies
Failures can wreck our lives and drown us
But when the toughest person gives his rough hand, grab it!
Don't be wary and judgemental whether to hold or not
Rely on your instincts, they're always dependable
When two discuss the same failure together and analyse it
Blaming not on destiny but on minute flaws of the self
Give the broadest smile to work on your new improvisations
Your constructive journey has just begun! A new approach!

The ruthless plans of destiny are not in your hands
But the choices you make are in your hands! Choose well!
