When Life Tries to Breaks You, but You Don’t Break
“Tears behind Closed Doors”
“Pain That No One Sees”
Why is life so strange?
Why is there so much pain?
Why is it that even after doing so much, we receive nothing in return?
Why do tears keep returning to our eyes again and again?
Why do we only start doing everything for ourselves after we’ve lost everything?
And still, all we end up with is pain…
I often wonder:
Why is it always the good people who suffer the most in life?
They’re the ones who have to cry.
The ones who lose the most,
And still, they’re expected to be the kindest.
Have you ever sat in silence and thought…
What does it mean to fight with yourself?
What does it mean to hold back your tears?
I’ve seen myself…
Complaining to myself in my loneliness.
I’ve seen things slip out of my hands just as they came close.
I’ve seen someone become mine, only to walk away again.
I’ve seen my father wear old clothes.
I’ve seen my mother cry silently.
I’ve heard my sisters say:
“Will our life ever change?”
I’ve heard my brother say,
“I wish we were rich too…
I wish our problems would end…
I wish we could also become something in life…”
It’s not that I haven’t done anything.
I’ve worked hard, really hard.
And I still am… I want to do something.
I want to create a life for myself …
But life itself seems upset with me.
How do I convince life?
How do I explain to life that it doesn’t need to be so complex?
If fate isn’t on your side, hard work means nothing.
When even God isn’t pleased with you, no amount of effort can change your destiny.
Fate and sustenance are both in the hands of God.
