THE VIBRANT UGLINESS OF LIFE

It’s not going to be easy,

Nor was it meant to be.

But don’t let your dreams die

Under the thatches of mediocrity.

 

You might be exposed to a lot of ugliness,

And your life might be pervaded by a sense of emptiness,

But don’t let it resist your soul

From reaching the kingdom of happiness.

 

Your life may be filled with difficulties

And your soul lacking the very sense of vitalities.

But don’t let them defeat you

With your sheer ignorance and unconditional sensibilities.

 

Your failures may outnumber your prosperities

And you might be failing to address any of your difficulties.

But don’t let that make you doubt yourself

And estrange you from your wonderous abilities.
