Long Drive

Ignorance and silence,
Preaches and deceits,
Libels and slanders.
Yeah, it gets on my nerves!

Friends are such a turncoats,
They betray, they deceive, 
Pretending to be sweet.
Causing emotional wrecks.
The traitors are such a scrape!

Hey! Ask me, why I am sharing this!
Just coz, wanna save you from such a crisis!

Sit in your car and go for a long drive.
Trust me its a therapy of its own kind!
Cool breeze tickling vibrant flowers,
Chirping birds playing in Cumulus clouds,
Strolling couples and brats chilling out,
Laughter and smile spread all around.
A sudden brake, brings you back to your present life.
Tell me, tell me, ‘‘what did you notice thru the drive.’’?

Happiness, energy and pure positive vibes!
Awww! You couldn't notice the negativity,
 though it too must be peeping inside!

Here's my friend an important lesson to bring back pride.
“Life too is a long drive, 
we can’t get into everything that comes into our sight.”
“step out of your boots, and be a fly on the wall,
You will understand inside out in just a glance.”

“Keep driving through the maze of life, 
Observe positivity and strength standing by your side.”
“Not every body strives to thrive, they don’t deserve your time.” 
Yes, it hurts every time but every incidence is a lesson of your life, 
to make you stronger and wise!

“Keep driving through, soaking in the lessons of your life."
"For you my darling, will always rise.”

"“Life too is a long drive," - this theme is powerful in this poem. I liked the continuity so much!

Thank you very much for appreciating the continuity. Mom always says, " Dont be too engrossed even in those things which carry no meaning, no happiness, no learning, always witness such situations with closed eyes, as you are watching a skit...its only then that you will notice, what actually is going wrong" And I realised this through this long drive:)
