Homesickness

I sit by window side, pen-paper in my hand
Teardrops from my eyes are falling on the land
Each moment seems a century when family is far
May time fly fast, I make a wish to the star
Family loves you the most, u always know that
But only they care truly, struggle tells u that

It's early morning now, I'm sitting at same place
I see birds chirping flying in the wide space
I wish I had wings, would fly right away to home
Wish I was still a child, would never have left home
Growing up is hard and I realize that now
I know I should be patient but don't know how

They give me life-lessons, tell me it's a race
You'll be left behind if this remains your case
They tell me not to cry as I am not a kid
They tell me I'll be fine when I'll reach the mid
I wonder what's the point in holding back the tears
It's okay to shed them off while fighting with the fears

I'm not as strong as them, I'm doing my bit by trying
It's not easy for me I always end up crying
But I shall never give up, come what may
I'll bounce back strong, one fine day.


P.S : Do not let anybody tell you that feeling homesick is something to be ashamed of when you are supposed to act mature as you are a grown-up. Well, absolutely not. Missing home while being away just tells how beautiful your bond with your family is. It's a reminder of the fact that you are a human being and not some emotion-less machine. 

Essence of Life

Some days are good, some days are bad

Good brings you joy, bad makes you sad

Sometimes people like you, sometimes they don’t

When they’re nice you’ll feel good, otherwise probably won’t

Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail

Success brings followers, failure makes you pale

Some choices are wonderful, some of them go wrong

Right choice makes you happy, wrong ones make you strong

Sometimes life looks harsh, sometimes it seems kind

But God is always fair, keep that in your mind

Sometimes you keep laughing, sometimes feel like crying

No one knows the outcome so never stop trying

Certain things aren’t meant for you, you’ve got to understand

there’s much better in store that destiny has planned

It’s okay to feel dejected, okay to feel low

‘cause you are simply human just going with the flow

But you can’t escape hardships, have got to face it all

‘cause you can’t learn standing on your feet until you fall

People come and people go, you simply can’t change this

Either keep complaining or take life as bliss

Days may be bad, people may not like you

Keep calm and have patience as God is there for you 



P.S : Well, I really enjoyed writing it down. The point is that all of us are sailing in the same boat. So stop crying and start living..!! :)  This is the first time that I have made an attempt to make words rhyme. I know the vocab and the lines are way too simple but I feel it's quite relatable and has the capacity to spread optimism and that's the sole purpose.
