The Best Train Journey Is Life Itself
My life is like a train
where passengers enter in leave
they turn into my reverie
on this tiresome journey
This journey is so long
but it always seems short
coz' time flies away soon
and nothing stays for long
neither my reverie nor my content
some unfavourable times arrive
that surely disappoint.
My train halts at many stations
picking up numerous people,
but does it always taken in
good people who are congenial?
Everything good isn't in my lot,
There are people who'd demoralise me a lot,
some more would trap me in their sugary web
of gracious speeches hiding their contempt
and then some day, taking complete advantage
they'd throw me out of my own train....
They'll intentionally teach me a big lesson
putting a question mark in front of my perception
of how the world appeared in my first impression
and how it turned out to be after realisation....
But times never stop me from being committed and strong
everything happens for a reason after all
I do feel disheartened, broken and frustrated
Time seems to have stopped as per my brief mindset
that's when I get going to my lost train
turning all my energy into my driving fuel,
there would be two outcomes at the end of this run
but I make sure that I push myself to a peak performance
before I fall behind to try any further
at least I wouldn't regret that I didn't even persevere....
Our fate is in the hands of a driving force
the one that drives our train or brings it to a standstill
the one that decides to stop at or ignore approaching stations
the one that weaves our life, a compilation of journeys and experiences...
