I feel there’s nothing missing...

For just twenty–one life years.

Grasping all that not

from money crisis to inhumanity.

Life taught me this-

“Need for money is like a – goat tethered to a tree”.

Wanting to escape, but tied.

In the midst of everything...

I know you and I are in a struggle...

In a battle- punching off negativity

Straining hard to embrace positivity.

I fear my youth and future fading...

And merging the horizon.

NO – hold up tight. 

“Hope and Fear are twin forces that tug you either way.” Said Kamala Markandaya.

Hope adapts you to survive.

Fit in. Have hope.
