Cherishing the Complexity of Life

Trying to stifle the agony of vulnerability, As anxiety sets in, bringing along torture, anger and sadness. With thousands of unanswered "what if", the mind seems to be racing And drowning in the deluge of emotional strain. Haunted by the impact of anxiety on a fragile heart, Exhaustion slowly creeps in and body shudders. Every breath becomes slower and anguish takes over, Losing control in the wilderness of the inflicted pain. Staying up countless nights crying over nothing, Gripping the bedsheets and popping on too many pills, With no excuse for this agitated and abhorrent behaviour, Everything around seems to be a mirage of some haunting tragedy. Hopes of socializing gets shattered, By overwhelming fear and the very nagging thought of "What if I'm not good enough?" Even when the clock ticks 3 at night, these contagious thoughts gnaw away the peace.  Tears caress down the cheeks, And the excruciating pain of being devoured by worries, claws and rips the lining...

  A wandering soul now turned astray, As the last of light flickered in the darkness, To a place where our overwhelming emotions did betray, Beyond despair and darkness to a complete void. Drifting among the noises to find solitude and peace, We begin to venture into the unending veil of the dark, that looms around draining the beauty of living, Awfully locking the only asylum of euphoria. The cold aura revoke the plethora of thoughts, Sending shivers as the mind whirls through memories. Emanating from inside were questions that were not answered,  Of love, hate, regret, passion, anger, distress and fear. The very intellect of thinking comes to a halt, As the deception of a blissful journey and comfort falls, Struggles and loss engenders vulnerability to self, That we desperately want to break free these barricades. Once fallen, escaping seems like an impossible quest. But remember, the eerie silence and the dark hue was waiting for you, To shred the stardust from your skin, A...

  A reflection of your incredible soul, That goes beyond caring and giving of yourself, From stretchmarks in the mother's womb to battle scars in soldiers, Lies the devotion of this propitious gift called Sacrifice. To rewrite our fate with hope and laughter, When the world is in a drunken abyss of self-pity and depression, And to embrace your dreams than the words of the living dead, In itself, self-sacrifice is sacred enough. With faith, our souls are cherished with the holy flames, And the darkness sinks when the light brightens. With the most divine contemplation, we submit ourself to the Holy good, For salvation comes with the sacrifice of pure mind. From turning freedom into responsibility and compromising desires for the good of the other, The promise is made and vows declared for a dream to build and a life to share, And by pledging to cherish every moment from that day in the world and the next, An ordeal of marriage is built with the sacrifice of a hundred lit...
