Dear Life! I'm not mad at you, <br />just a little weary... <br />Stumped by the seemingly innocent <br />questions you keep throwing at me <br />Somehow I never thought that <br />I'll have to handle pains in order to live happily <br />Never realized that I'll <br />have to pay a debt for each smile <br />Now every time I smile, <br />I am reminded of the debt <br />that's weighing on my lips. <br /> <br />Dear Life! But it's not as if <br />these pains are without purpose... <br />Because each pain makes me aware of <br />things I never noticed before... <br />It is only in the scorching heat that <br />we come to know of the relief a cool shade brings. <br /> <br />So today, if my eyes well up, <br />I'll cry as long as I want to <br />Because who knows, <br />tomorrow I may long for these very tears <br />And then, where will I look for this lone tear drop, <br />That I had hidden away for so long?<br /><br />Piyush Dey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dear-life-i-m-not-mad-at-you/
