One day at a time

Sometimes, there comes such a time in your life,

When a smile can cost you many emotions.

The clouds of despair hold you in an embrace

And suffocation threatens to engulf you.

 

You feel trapped in a world of your own making

And you struggle to find an escape, an exit.

Those are the times when you stumble, fumble

And try to find the corners in a circular room.

 

At moments such as these, at such times of despair

Take a breath, pause a while and just reboot.

Take things one day at a time and slowly & surely

You will renew your strength and ride out the trough.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
