Survival
Smooth ongoing life
A period of ease, a cycle of pain
Attempts to cure that go in vain
An explosion of joy
A fever of agony
Extremity reaches its height at times.
A conflict within itself
A question answered by the question itself
A try to resolve, but the answer causes the dilemma itself.
A thought occupied by prudence
What should be the next step?
When words start disrupting the course of themselves
Satisfaction seems to last for a while
Replaced by a quandary, not worthwhile
Periodical dryness
A shot at love but then withdrawn
Eventual warmth
Comfort food and blankets drawn
Small victories, then some stumbles
Miseries and downfalls
Confidence and nervous breakdowns
Life is cruel
But fascinating somehow
Change in pattern is required anyhow
Ups and downs are a challenge I can survive
No matter how much the contradictions of life revive
I love to live in this hive
It treasures me with honey
And leaves me with a sting,
I am still alive
But it dies off leaving me with a mark
Like a bee
