Reflections

Sun rises, yet there is darkness all around..
a long way to go, yet I keep going round and round..
I know I shouldn't..
but stopping myself, I couldn't..
I keep cruising, every sight bruising, my heart..
Conflicts everywhere,
compassion no where...
Breeding greed and roads bathed in blood.
Drought somewhere, while the others flood..
Words sharper than swords,
fighting battles, without a cause..
The rich lay wasted,
So do the poor, though the reasons differ..

Sun rises, yet there is darkness around..
Its a dystopian world, just like my mind..
No reason to wake up,
neither to cheer up..
A long day to go, before the night falls..
and the charade keeps going, round and round..
I keep wishing,for it to end
Not really trying,still bound,
to my fears and insecurities..
Unsure whether it's me or the world.. Spilling its emotions over the other..
Reflecting each other..

The story behind

         It seems to be a dark and depressing one. But when you are bound to your darkest fears and insecurities, you tend to search and find those in the outer world. World is a mirror, it reflects you. As long as you tend to think negative and as long as you are depressed, that's what you see in the world around you.

I am not saying that once you decide to be cheerful, the entire world will become peaceful. But it doesn't hurt to start looking at things in a positive way. Even when there are a thousand reasons to feel sad, anger, hurt we can try and find happiness, compassion and kindness. May be that will help some other person, who is far more hurt. Call me a romantic, but if every one of us try to do that, may be then entire world can be peaceful. It might happen, might not. But a little  kindness, and staying happy never hurt anybody. So, try and be positive.
