Struggle for Existence


A dark and somber poem, by Kamrun, exclusively for Different Truths

A life
goes in silence
In a fight with thyself
And with the darkness of existence.
 
What is wrong or
What is right
No one can decide
There is no measurement or scale
There is no judgement or discrepancy;
It’s very subtle.
 
In this world
When a thing happens it just happens.
No one can deny,
No one can ask why it happens?
 
Just a thought is working on the wave,
It’s fate...
If anyone believes in fate.
 
So, by relying on fate
If any boat is sailing in the middle of water…
Then just a simple shake
Can throw it into the whirlpool of water.
And that is the reality, not vague.
