Life

By Challa Bhanu Pranav

I now embark on this quest,

To understand the universe to its finest;

But people all around me tell me to let go,

For all the pain you have given me ceases to go;

But I ask myself “How can I do that,

How can I let go of something that helps me grow, one that brings me joy;

One that throws me down, but helps me get back up again;

One that gives me opportunities, one that is indifferent;

Well, that sounds like life to me.

How do I let go of life?

Let it be, I’ll hold on for as long as I can.
