Through the dark times... - Rishona Chopra

You'll only read poems about love and despair, hurt and care, failure and success, All the opposites. But you'll rarely ever hear about poems about what you have, What you can do and all the things that aren't bad. Sure, this world is a dark and lonely place, But not if you find your little space. Bombs and wars, fighting and chores. It'll be wrong of me to say, It'll all be okay. Because perhaps it wont, But we've put our hopes in things that would never happen for far too long. Perhaps it's time for us to see, Count our blessings and find the glee. There must be something in our life, that perhaps we can find, Something that makes one smile despite the tough times. There are too many pessimistic things you can burden your mind with, But only one you can free the mind with. And that's to think of the things you have, the things you did and the things you will.

To give the love you seek - Rishona Chopra

Sometimes you, feel that no one wants you there,

It's often just a fear, Because we just want to find a place in the world, And don't want hate coming through words, Time passes by like the waves on a shore, Leaving an impression on the sand, but not for too long. We wish to be loved and cared, Not shattered and scared Forgetting that our hearts only open when you learn to give the love you seek. To some, it feels meek, But it is what it is, Because that's when you learn to truly live. Perhaps we fetch this love too far and wide, We have it here in our heart all this time, So lets not let hurt get the better of us, And lets not let the loneliness ruin us, Because to give is to take, And to love others isn't futile and fake.
