We all have the lives we are given
To deal with the cards in our hands, but then
Fortunately we have also been blessed
With the ability to think, imagine and process
We are not satisfied with the way things happen to be
We want life to fit our imagination, evidently
Sometimes some of us are lucky to be able to design
Some aspects of the life we have in mind..
But the script of our imagination rarely translates
Into the reel of our life, rarely do we get to write our fate
We are left with a deep longing for what could have been
In pining for our dreams, we are left caught between
The unglamorous real life and a utopian ideal
That, I believe, our mental peace does steal..
*
The secret behind finding peace of mind
May be to leave fantasies of an imaginary life behind
Accept life the way it is, and then assess
If there is a way to improve an existing process
Change what we can, accept the rest with gratitude
Forge our paths ahead with the right attitude
Passion...unbridled
