Test: Poetry

Is it some kind of a test going on?

Where I'm supposed to react a certain way,

What if I fail at it?

"I knew it would happen" you may say.

But nothing false do I convey.

For a closed book,

To be an open one,

That's a tough job I must say.

-Amrinder

Expecting good for them is not wrong, putting them in a box of our expectations and beliefs is wrong. Hoping them to live and react the way we like, is wrong. Every individual is different with different viewpoints. So lets just cherish the differences without any judgement and prejudice.

At times we give someone such high value in our heart that we totally forget ourselves, our needs, desires, dreams etc. Love should lead to growth. The love where only one person is giving and is willing to do anything is not right. Love yoursel...
