used to always get angry
wanted things to be clear-cut
everything in place
and no confusion
but life is just like that
nothing ever always goes one's way
and now I am learning
to get on
and life would be much easier
and better
for a start,
accepting becomes
more than just
a nod and a sulk
it is being happy,
putting a smile
even when things
go out of place
and not everyone
can always stay the same
moods change for them too
just like mine
but I have to learn
to put up with it
everyone has their bad times
and I should stop comaparing
no one will ever be the same
so how can things
be done to everyone
just because they are friends?
the smile on a friend's face
upon hearing your joke
or just wanting to take
a picture with you
makes it all worthwhile
in the end
so I just have to learn
to put a smile on my face
laugh at jokes told
and just go along
even when no one
seems to have heard you
or wants to hear you
this is what I have learnt
and I thank you
for making me reduce
the hate in me
which had embedded itself
