Sonal's Poems

In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂

  • Life, or Strife…?

    Not one who is not in pain in this life
    Not one who is free from some major strife
    As I meet people, such pain I see
    Is this how You wanted Your world to be? 

    Fake smiles, each fighting gross pain
    All the advices just go in vain
    Tears and sobs and compromise
    Before age we need to act wise

    It hurts me immense and I want to help
    It breaks my heart to hear them yelp
    I want to give them the balm they seek
    Atleast give strength to those who’re weak

    But nothing soothes the pain which kills
    Nothing which really helps to fill
    The void – which’s so deep and bare
    I just sit with You to say a prayer… 

    Finding our way in this maze You’ve made
    Listening to Your voice which sometimes fades
    Steering along the stumbling blocks
    We’re trying to reach our destination rock

    Just keep us on the path which is right
    Don’t let us fall, just hold us tight
    None who can soothe, none who can guide
    None who can help us cross this trench so wide

    Don’t leave our hand while we try to walk
    Just be there when we want to talk
    Give us the strength to bear this strife
    Let us have a happy life…!
