PERSPECTIVES

If the darkness fails to engulf you, the light will.

When the chaos can not drown your thoughts, the silence will.

If the enemies refuse to bring you down, your friends will.

Yet if this void fails to make you understand, this world full of misery,

Give Death a chance for what you want to see.

Dear pessimist, my friend,

Try to understand a simple thing.

You have your sight in light,

Your sanity in silence.

Your faith in friends and your love in peace.

Then what shall death do if you bow down and kiss?

A fatalist blames the fate, an idealist dreams to be lost

"In an ideal world, how much does misery and death cost?"

Every day and every while,

You get to live a spectator's dream

Yet you are not happy with the way it seems?

But as I think of every situation that goes downhill,

I compare myself with all those living as they will

I hate to accept the fact that I might never

Love myself the way others love me,

I was born late but realised real quick

That self doubt is my one and only enemy.

Time may run faster than you blink,

But you still have more time than you think.

To change yourself in the way you dream,

To favour yourself over all your doubtful perspectives

Open your eyes, my friend, and your light shall never dim.
