Have you ever felt like you were doing everything you can just to survive in this crazy world but still your efforts were not enough? People around were expecting you to do the things that were close to impossible? I experienced that kind of feeling when I was in college.. And I would like to share with you guys the poem I wrote years ago... Enjoy reading and let me know your thoughts....
Life
Life forbids me to live
It's reason I was not ready
It made me toil and fight my way
So that I would live today.
Today has come and yet I find
that still I cannot live
For life demands so many things
And all the things I cannot give
So even now my fight is on
To live my life the way life would
And though I am unsure,
I still live up to expectations
If NOW has come at last
Then tomorrow I can live
But if tomorrow comes too late
Life then will I hate.
