The yearning for life

It’s not easy to let go;

To not feel the pain in your soul.

It’s not easy to pick yourself up;

To dust off, to take another step.

 

It’s not easy to smile in pain;

To not feel alone, not feel strain.

It’s not easy to open your heart;

To make again that first start.

 

It’s not easy to see things anew;

To not feel blinded by few.

It’s not easy to again nurture hope;

To hold once again the end of the rope.

 

Life makes it difficult sometimes to go on

and yet the yearning for it never stops.

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.
