2022, you are brutal
You kill me
You despise me
And make me feel
As if everything I did
Wasted
My efforts
My hard earned
Back to square one
2022, thank you
For a raise
I didn't deserve
You challenged me
Bombarded with
Struggle
And Over-time
But that's what
Growth demands
2022, you're still here
Laughing at me
While I rant
But I ain't giving up
Beyond limits I
Rise
& Shine
My silver lining
On the other side
Tag: Surviver
If I don't let go now,
I'll never.
If I don't hurt now,
I'll forever.
Nobody has an inch of idea
Of the amount of pain she carries
Beneath her cheerful smile
And the jolly laughs
The way she spreads the love
Like molten magma
That fills up the earth
Replacing the voids in us
Dear darling be strong
Cause you're what I get strength from
Smile and walk ahead
Be a surviver in this brutal world
