The Sugar In Life I Poem by Yazhini
The Sugar In Life
The dream is a model,
Teacher, singer, anything you want.
Comes crashing before your eyes.
Just look deeper inside.
Baby, the thing stopping you is
people who don’t see the shine inside you.
But don’t worry, their loss is you!
You think people are nice.
My friend, remember, “All that glitters is not gold.”
All that you wished for became a memory,
washed away from the real world.
But, Baby, don’t cry!
Most people feel the same distress.
You think there is no hope.
But, my friend, there is good in the world.
Trust me, buddy, you are just a late bloomer.
I know, in your thoughts, you are a roamer,
who doesn’t belong anywhere.
But somewhere in the world lies peace.
To find it, you have to face the starter world.
Baby, have some faith and belief.
One day, you will find your shining star in the darkness.
Please don’t cry!
Trust me, you won’t die.
Loneliness is salty,
But love is sweet.
Your life is your cake.
Try to find the sugar and ignore the salt.
Baby, remember, you are not alone.
You just need a little more care to bloom.
Let the past get doomed;
Forget your gloom;
Rise and bloom!
