Unable to unravel the
mysteries of life
Tangled in a web
of perplexity
Powerless to distinguish
right from wrong
Pursuing peace amidst
mass frustration.
Yearning to undrape the
secret of man complete
Struggling for success,
scorning the taste of defeat
Rationalizing grounds for
this pain and implicit unrest
Securing a fitting refuge
from this insane chaos.
A lightyear from our intentions,
we seldom find ourselves
A million miles from pleasant
dreams of expected happiness
Inside this sphere of wonder
and certain bewilderment
Disappointment comes easy
for those who concede
Picturing, anticipating,
success and prosperity .
For who would envision
a life of pain and distress?
Building ourselves up,
to abruptly tumble down.
For dreams are denied in
this idealistic existence?
Greeting each morn,
sensing failure and defeat
Was that the plan for
a man of ambition ?
Survival, breathing, living,
the goals for today
Forget those illusions which
may leave you happy.
Disappointment comes easy,
or so they say
I dismiss this idea for
my personal journey
Surrendering, giving in,
not allowed in this game
Fight, persevere,
move forward and be proud.
Recollect every moment
when life made you smile
Cherish those trials,
excruciating but so fruitful
Challenges, obstacles,
a prototype for satisfaction
Disappointment comes easy.
Anyone can do easy.
Contentment requires
optimism and faith.
Qualities of bravery,
courage and strength.
Put aside the apprehensions
of fear
Go forth trusting your
dauntless personality
Destination hangs on your
drive and desires.
Fail to be optimistic,
disappointment creeps in.
Carefully regard
your choices and chances.
Peace and tranquility
rings melodious.
