I am not afraid of vampires or werewolves,
They hide away in the silent woods.
I am not afraid of haunted hotels,
Or the ghosts that ring the doorbells.

I am afraid of what humans can do,
Hurting others without a single clue.
Breaking hearts and causing pain,
Dragging lives down like heavy rain.

The real fear is not of the night,
But of people who **** the light.
Doing wrong, tearing others apart,
That’s the monster inside the human heart.
Every change is a sign,
Life shuns the old, wears the new.
Where one season ends in time,
Fresh vibes are born in view.

The spring gives way to heat,
Summer hands the torch to rain.
Autumn leaves fall at our feet,
Winter heals the earth again.

So let each shift remind,
That change is not unkind.
It clears the path we tread,
For brighter days ahead.
Life is so beautiful,
But each hour never comes back.
Every day, everything is a gift,
A treasure we should not lack.

Why waste it on worries,
On problems that never end?
Let go of stress and fear,
Be gentle to yourself, dear friend.

Look at the beauty around you,
The sunshine, the flowers, the skies,
The laughter of small moments,
The sparkle in loving eyes.

Problems will always be present,
Like shadows that come and go,
But happiness is your true choice,
A seed you can always sow.

So live with joy each morning,
Find peace in the evening light,
For life is a precious journey—
Make each moment warm and bright.
Every moment in life will pass,
Good or bad, it does not last.
When happy times are here, enjoy—
Let your heart be full of joy.

If days are hard and full of rain,
Remember sunshine comes again.
Nothing stays the same for long,
Soon you’ll find your days are strong
No one knows your story,
No one lived your life.
No one felt your pain,
No one fought your doubts.

There’s a reason you are exactly the same,
So stop listening to the voices that don’t matter.
Their words don’t define you—
They never did.

You are strong,
You are worth more than they understand.
Now get up, put your smile back on,
And show them exactly who you are.

For only you carry your truth,
Only you hold your light.
The world may try to dim it,
But your soul was born to shine bright.
Frustration is like burning fire,
igniting deeper, rising higher.
Hating everyone in sight,
wishing to be like someone bright.

The fire engulfs your heart and mind,
making you cruel, making you blind.
It makes you forget the love in life,
and fills your soul with endless strife.

It feeds on anger, it thrives on pain,
like storming clouds that bring the rain.
Eyes turn cold with hate and frost,
leaving you broken, feeling lost.

But if controlled, the fire can fade,
from raging storm to peaceful shade.
With patience sown and hope kept near,
frustration turns to strength, not fear.
The monsoon arrived, the skies turned grey,
Bringing joy to hearts that day.
They lit the fire for fritters and tea,
While we wee fellas ran out in glee.

Drenched in the nectar the heavens send,
Laughing, shouting, without an end.
But times have changed, and memories fade,
No monsoon comes in the way it once played.

No longer the smiles that lit up each face,
Now I’m left out, lost in the race.
I’ve grown up, with work taking its toll,
Forgetting the rain that once filled my soul.

Now I run for shelter, not to get wet,
Golden days I’ll never forget.
Suddenly a splash wakes me with cheer,
Laughter and shouts drift close, then near.

I stand and watch as they rush on past,
Thinking of days that went too fast.
Wishing I could turn back, just for a while,
To live as I did — carefree, with a smile.
