Treasure yourself

There are times, we may face,

loss of feelings, for our enjoyment,

when things go south, in our life.

For, the life we had imagined,

brought nothing but disappointments,

demoralizing our spirits... 

And gradually, we loose the zeal,

withdraw from world, and our will,

getting enclosed, inside our space.

It starts, as a defense mechanism, 

but later becomes our characteristics,

changing mentalities & epigenetics. 

So, we might lose our ways, 

getting anhedonic & insomniac, 

mourning the hurt, from our failures.

If uncontrolled, we develop sickness, 

gulping down pills, help us alleviate,

still, getting worsening of symptoms. 

And it all starts, with our ego...

This fierce desire for achievements, 

with an inflexible mind, & stubborn heart,

we might encounter impediments. 

Setbacks are essential, so is perseverance,

having confidence, to develop resilience, 

yet, extremes of our emotions...

Along with pride, can be dangerous. 

So, heed the call, follow wisdom,

accept realities, nurture detachment,

when you stand, on murky grounds, 

seek support, from loved ones.

For, nothing is more important,

than your peace & happiness...

Treasure yourself more!
