Life: An Enthralling Encounter

Despair and desperation fill one's debilitating mind,

as one is deprived of camaraderie of any kind.

Humiliations and disputes are a commonplace,

yet there is respite, one finds peace and solace,

the confluence of pragmatism and materialism

bestows one with positivity and optimism.

The mind is swaying to and fro,

reflecting on the actions of the past,

worried about the sorry state of the present,

yet there is bright light at the end of the tunnel,

a ray of hope diffracts through one's mind,

as one beams at the myriad of opportunities.

Desperation fogs the mind,

it's bereft of critical thinking and cognition,

it's the host for springing up of negativity,

as it falls prey to the commotion around.

Positivity is being obliterated,

as the brook of thoughts is obstructed.

It's the battle within oneself,

ultimately positivity scrapes through,

providing the impetus for a bright, fluorescent future.
