Talking Lives

Talking Lives

A Poem by Vivek Iyengar
"

Philosophical musings of a young guy about life...

"

 

I‘ve been too lucky,

But nothing is forever.

 

My time too is coming, I can feel it.

And when it does, I’ll be prepared.

 

There are only two things you can do,

When in the middle of a storm;

 

You can either write your own destiny,

By chaining yourself to your immovable rock of belief;

 

Or get buffeted by the storm,

And be a part of the debris, like everyone else.

 

You have the right, the power & the duty to be happy,

No one can take those away from you, not even yourself.

 

So, go do whatever it takes to keep the smile on your face.

Fight for it if you have to, nothing matters more than a smiling heart.

 

There will be people you don’t understand however hard you try,

In times like these, listen to your heart; you will know whether they really matter.

 

Never hold a grudge against anyone.

Kill it before it slowly tortures you to death.

 

Time is the healing factor, and love is the abundant catalyst.

You need both of them, because remember, life is as small as a new-born’s fist.
