CHECKMATE
Life isn't incessant, but the dramas of our lives are constant.
There's a way you look at things & a way you actually want to perceive them.
It's strange & even more weird how you just keep filling your emotions on & on
And ignore the fact they are already overflowing.
You need to realize it's okay to have an opinion that doesn't match with the ones around you
It's normal to be tulip in a garden of sunflowers
But it's tough & extremely dangerous to not vent out your emotions.
All of us have lost AT LEAST once
when dreams & reality have had a checkmate.
But yes all that matters, in the end, is did the king win? Did you achieve contentment & peace through it?
Did you pick up the brush & paint the future that was best for you.
It's just a matter of fact that you have been trying & still if you couldn't accomplish
"You aren't giving up," you are trying again for your perfect moment & not for the sole excuse
"At least I tried,"
I swear that'll leave you in complete regret someday.
If your thoughts don't match try presenting it differently.
Try being "like the first one"
That'll end perfect
