Art, perhaps art can save you from all disasters
So I decided to write
when my heart is overwhelmed,
Overwhelmed with anguish or happiness.
On days like these,
the world becomes your playground of emotions.
You are in a carnival, stuck on the Ferris wheel
you swing between exhaustion, anxiety,
extreme sadness and a lot of despondency.
It will be hard but think of it as a concert of life,
you are the star and everything will be fine.
And on days like these,
bouts of sadness will creep in through the cracks of your door,
each episode will feel like a maths exam you never prepared for.
But there are always blooming flowers and blue skies
which will never disappoint you, no matter what.
And yes on days like these,
You will have to make difficult choices,
the life-changing ones maybe.
You may stumble upon every hurdle that comes across,
have to get up with both your knees bruised badly
and won’t find anyone offering help.
But there will always be more courage
sleeping at the end of the tunnel in your heart,
and you just need to wake it up.
On days like these,
You will realise that no matter what
The people you love,
will end up hurting you the most.
Certain things will always remain unanswered
because nobody can ever furnish your heart with the right kind of answers.
So you decide to stop seeking answers
Because happiness will come looking for you
like a long lost friend!
And maybe on days like these,
Your favourite season would feel
like an aftermath of a pandemic.
Everyone would have left you
Stuck in between thunders of agony and misery
But you will surely discover a side of you
that never existed until this moment,
And this moment is all it takes to change your life.
