Inspiration

Whenever Life gets tough

I seek solace in people of the past.

People who mark their lives

In pages of History.

With their blood, sweat and sacrifice.

I tell myself, "They had it worse,

You can survive this."

Lift myself up because who will,

If not me?

I treat life's obstacles,

As minor inconveniences,

Because they taught me

Life could be way worse.

I wait for things that never happen

Put my faith in fate's cruel play

I often wonder what life was like

For all those immortals

In the pages of novels.

They fought all odds,

Wins and Losses

And emerged from the battles of life

So why can't I?

I read their stories with hope and belief

That everything in the end seems fine.
