A Reason to live

To the lost soul

We try to think, we try to laugh

Never have we imagined being so close

And yet so far, life sure is morose

With streaks of darkness brushing the painting

Of an abstract meaning, with a sense of belonging

Never have we imagined that to have a dream is a utopia

Illusion remains in this world full of the useless; of trivia

We wish to believe

We hope to live

We want to cling to some desperate hope

We stare at the high sky

And gaze at night, with stars so bright

We dream of flying to a faraway place

When nothing here is worth; where love is no more a grace

That’s why we wish for more

We look for the space outdoor

Could it be that outside something better is waiting for us?

Or is it only stupid to delve in other treasures and to blindly trust?

We never know what’s awaiting us; are we going to meet the fairies?

Life is like a river; it carries away with it all the memories

Facing challenges, enjoying every blissful moment

Treasuring what is dear to us, looking forward to any happy event

These and many other more form part of our boring life

Where we need to struggle and continuously fight

Otherwise what would be the purpose of living?

We have to be strong; and continue believing

Faith, a reason to live, a goal to attain

Never should we let go; to love always and again

Because this is the only way for us to achieve happiness

And to forever dream, to never wake up, to enjoy the endless...
