The light inside

Grass is greener on the other side,

I heard

Who else but me can be

a live example of that?

There is no sunshine, there are no people

only buildings and walls painted in white

Grey outside, white inside

feels trapped in a while

There is no sense of belonging,

there is no cheer,

there is no laughter,

to keep you happy and warm

Neighbors are not around

to celebrate your joys

Nor do you get a sneak peek

in their (perhaps) turbulent lives

Everything runs on a timetable

Everything is well planned

I think they also decide

When to smile and at what time to feel sad

It's dead silent around

there is absolutely no noise

only sound you hear

is perhaps of your own racing heart

There is no one to keep company,

there is no one to fight,

there is no one to talk

and there is no one to be sought

After an initial struggle with my head and heart,

I came to realize, after all

you have to be your light

and your own sunshine

Your best company is you

And your best friend too

You do not need sunshine outside

to feel it in you.

Read a book, write a blog,

cook, bake, walk, shop

watch a movie

and laugh your heart out

Be happy and hopeful

with no remorse, don't be sad

This one to one conversation

will take you far
