Stargazing

By Vikas Yadav

They tell me, how small your problems look if you keep yourself distant from them but they also tell me how difficult it is for you when you attach yourself to their shine.

They show me different paths through their shine and tell me you can always take the other path no matter how hard it seems at first.

They tell me, you do not need to choose a certain direction what others expect from you but it's important to end up being in your right direction.

They tell me, you need to fight your battles alone if you win you become the pole star and if you lose you still shine beautifully and become  a reason of fulfilling others' unfulfilled wishes.

They tell me, an imagination that you cannot see does not exist and the reality you see is merely a creation of people.

They tell me, no matter how dark the darkness gets there will always be a light making you shine.

They tell me, no matter what others label you, you'll always be the reason why someone believes in love, life and happiness.

They tell me, no matter how hard your inner demons pull you back, you still shine and rise. 

They tell me, you can live with your scars regardless of how deep they are.

They tell me, your exploitation does not begin with your expectations from others but because of the unrealistic expectations with self to catch every shine.

They tell me, that what you get easily isn't meant for you and that what makes you struggle will stay forever.

They tell me, things meant to happen would happen despite your existence.

And yet they do not give me peace anymore.
