Is It Not?

By Annie Nehzaidei Haokip

Is it not fascinating how different colours combined can produce a new colour?

Is it not insane how simple words can have such powerful impact?

Is it not unhinging how, as we grow older, people gradually disappear?

And is it not baffling how we learn to drift away from the world as years go by?–

The very world that was to be called home.

Life is a journey most loved and hated,

It obligates a person to strive for success,

to seek their purpose for existence.

It brings immense love and laughter,

But also surprises with shuddering cries.

A fusion of emotions and a little bit of everything,

Mental frenzies of rage,
