There always arrived times when we cried,
Sometimes in guilt,
At times on the twist and turns of life.

There always arrived times when we pretended as if nothing ever happened,
And put on a facade of a kind human being who never ever cried;
Never ever felt like dying.

There always arrived times when mornings were hard to swipe,
And evenings turned into escapes to another world of ifs, whats and whys,

There always arrived times when we were shattered,
Completely,
Yes,
In the most unpredictable ways,
But we had to walk,
Walk extra miles,
Just to breathe another day,
Hoping to smile one more time,
In a better way.
