Leap of Faith

Good & Evil… everyone has both the sides… and no one knows it better then himself. You can’t have everything in life. Nothing will last forever. No one will stay with you forever. Some things you own, because they are made for you… some things are yours because you ran into them & now they are yours. Some things you boast… some things you regret.

The flowers will dry… maybe sooner than you thought they would. The rain that you loved may distort your view. Everyone won’t always act the way you've thought. Expectations are exquisite to imagine but they go empty…  And sometime later, when you are sitting under the blue sky & thinking about what went wrong… you can’t lie to yourself. Somewhere deep down inside, you knew it was coming..!!

Everyone has a day of being ‘weak’, ‘weary’, ‘bleak ‘, ‘abandoned’… a day of despair… familiar words… aren't they? And you feel like being the best actor in the world… You won’t let anyone know you are falling, neither will anyone notice and that’s what hurts the most.

You would want to shove off your cell phone, wear your deepest of thoughts & sit alone for a while to discover new depths. You would want the dark crater to swallow you completely. But what matters is to have someone to pull you out of that pit. Most imperative is that.. 'that' person knows ‘when & how’. He should know that it’s him, though it rarely happens. You’ll be devoted to be in that dark pit and may of may not struggle to come up. You’ll want to be alone but not “left alone”. There lies a big difference only a few know!!

But then these moments are the ‘Escapes’ that you were longing for a long time, knowingly or unknowingly. The ‘Break Away’ that lets you abscond to a new day, a lighter world in which you can grab and hold yourself together and through. You’ll find all your answers and know all the strategies.  A world where it’ll be just you.
You… Making promises to self…
You… Knowing all the facts & figures…
You... Trying to smile for no one else but for your own self
You… Taking that “LEAP OF FAITH”

There’s always a little hope in despair, a little laugh in a cry, a little confidence in every doubt, a little faith in qualm, a little truth in every lie, a little light in all dark.

Just keep your FAITH on that LEAP OF FAITH… and you my dear… hold the power to let a DRIED BUD BLOOM!
