Life is never smooth
The hardships never cease
But whats that which keeps me going?
It’s the amazing thing called BELIEF.
Disappointments galore
Sometimes so many at a time
But I manage to overcome
With this thing called BELIEF.
Failed relationships and Hurting words
May put me down
But its all for a while
I learn to feel better with this thing called BELIEF.
Bad communication misfires
I presume and they assume – attitude
But all goes well
The moment I BELIEVE.
Life disrupts our happiness
Of our comfort zones and friends
But I learn to find new venues of joy
The moment I BELIEVE.
People might ignore me totally
Or tease me till it hurts
But I learn to smile
The moment I BELIEVE.
Yes, I BELIEVE.
I believe that good things will prevail, after a spell of bad ones.
I believe that happiness will be mine, when I learn to look at things positively.
I believe this Universe listens to my pleas and wishes.
And makes those happen, in which I believed.
I believe in the positivity of accepting the worst
And believing for the best to happen.
I believe that the dried tears will turn into flowers
And the bad moments flurry away, like a clearing mist.
I believe that when life failed me sometimes,
It’s bound to give me good things in other times.
I believe. I wait for the time to come.
After all good things are destined for me too.
Time is the healer, on whom I depend.
To believe for better times to come.
Wah! Wah, Poetry n all!! Kya baat hai!

@ Ash – Yeah, I can…but told my fingers to type Belief, to maintain some symmetry in believing… 😉

– Claassssiicc !!! Very well crafted !!! Thanks.
– BELIEF is the “ray of hope to create harmony and happiness” !!! It is the “life jacket” for a man stuck in the “sea of problems” ; TIME is the sail required to reach the “shore of happiness”!!! The waves mark our sinusoidal “short term” moods of “pursuing or giving up” !!!
U have reminded me of the song “Yaanai-in balam ethilae, thumbikai-ilae; Manushanoda balam athilae, nambikai-ilae”. I enjoyed listeningto this thru’ the funnel-loudspeaker played @ my village temple in Markazhi (those days). Now, I frequent less to my native, which has turned super urban – I stay “rural” with the BELIEF that the “past would show up in the future”.
Phew…… That was a long stretch of a comment !!!

The world is abundant with duality –> good-bad, pain-pleasure, light-dark, understanding-mistunderstanding, kind-cruel, heaven-hell, rich-poor, humble-arrogant…….etc…etc — all these co-exist. It does not stay “static” within anyone; the perception keeps changing depending on the mood/state of mind!!!
