March Ahead

Gloomy scenes everywhere 

Spirits down with despair 

Scars seem beyond repair 

Life is just not fair. 

Troubles running hell loose 

Mind plagued with nervous issues 

No sign of peace or truce 

Life tightening the pressure screws. 

But you need to take a chill pill 

coz time wont act as per your will 

might be difficult but be relaxed 

you 're looking way too much taxed. 

But nail this thing in your mind 

that this world wont be kind 

you need to put that baggage behind 

and march ahead determined. 

 You're losing your precious moments  

The moments in which you can smile 

and enjoy the freedom every while 

while keeping your problems at bay 

breaking the cocoon of dismay. 

Feel the feeling of being liberated 

and watch the euphoria within unabated.

 So be unabashed and march ahead 

For many such battles you shall head 

where you'll face the demons and curse them 

get loads of wounds and nurse them. 

Realise that the time is now 

Forget the past and rise somehow 

Wake up from the sleep of sorrow 

and march ahead towards a bright tomorrow...

Forget the past and rise somehow
Wake up from the sleep of sorrow
and march ahead towards a bright tomorrow...
No matter how life shows you its bitter side you can always learn from it and kill the sufferings with your strong will, courage and your sweetness. :) Good one Chirag. Life goes on...

Thanks for your review friend :)

The poem is so inspiring! It is a lesson on how to live and a very good one at that! :)

It speaks plainly and clearly:
''Life is just not fair.''
''No sign of peace or truce
Life tightening the pressure screws.''
It counsels:
''But you need to take a chill pill
coz time wont act as per your will''

It admonishes:
''But nail this thing in your mind
that this world wont be kind''

It inspires:
''So be unabashed and march ahead
For many such battles you shall head''

Finally, it holds the promise for following what you say in the rest of the poem:
''Wake up from the sleep of sorrow
and march ahead towards a bright tomorrow...''

An excellent job! Keep up the good work! :)

This is a great piece because I like the idealism even though it talks about problems, because it all points to the hope we always will have when we believe in a brighter future.
