When things are beyond our control
When pain induced by others taking a toll
When taking a risk is the only option
And no parameters available for adoption

Pressure on our chest eats up the breath
The stomach gets filled circles of wreath
Sound in throat takes deep dive within
A sense of end… nothing left to win

Make a small move my dear friend
Look beyond you… for a hand to blend
A smile is waiting to build a bridge across
Two unbiased eyes without any gloss

What gets created has also means to dissolve
No state is permanent, if you’re ready to resolve
Gear-up, prepare, make newer choices
Worst is already seen, now listen to inner voices

Belief in self will never put you down
The bottom is touched, nothing left to frown
Mistakes, guilt and repentance all are human
Accept your own choices, display that acumen

Do not let the frustration eat you up ever
Managing dilemmas makes you more clever
Sacrifices is the price life demands us to pay
But those are the ones which show you the way
