WILLPOWER

Many a times, 

The world does feel smaller,

Probably bigger with less in it;

Few chances and opportunities,

Less motivation and purpose,

More shortcomings and misfortunes,

Enshrined in the day to day way of life;

The only comfort a couple of words,

"Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"

Yet strength is hard to come by,

Precisely the physical strength;

Fortunately, willpower can be summoned,

Tainted with willingness to fight;

Shedding off all the negativity,

Creating a new purpose and reenacting motivation,

A peculiarity that makes the world a perfect place,

Worth awakening to.

NOT ALONE

I stare up at the sky,
An empty space,
That's all I see,
Nothing captivating on sight,
Yet it's a calm night,
Filled with melodious sounds,
Escaping the unseen little insects,
Deservedly worth the praise,
For they offer stiff competition,
To the soothing tunes,
Of the early morning birds;
The sounds peculiarly gentle-
The melody untainted,
As the rhythm echoes,
Restoring hope,
Though in my own world, 
Elevating me to a star,
To shine through the vastness,
Of the outer space,
Wandering aimlessly through the sky,
The world not my own,
For I stumble upon other stars;
Realizing I'm not alone anymore.
