Impermanence
It has kept me awake Through countless sleepless nights My hand starts shivering Heart beat increased two-folds I can’t think of anything else My efforts render useless It’s the truth I fear the most. I have read in so many books And heard from so many great minds I know there is no escape There is nothing anyone can do And I accept that it’s inevitable Alas! I am but only a mere human I fear it like so many others Every bit of me wants to reject it. It’s the truth that saddens me the most. It helps during grim days; I know it’ll be over soon But it’s not much of a help either When the sun is shining bright; It tells me that This too will be over soon. It’s the truth that confuses me the most.
