The 'other'

Each of us is unique,

We are all fighting our own battle,

Fretting, worrying, obsessing about others,

Can only prove to be fatal.

How can we compare?

How can we even measure?

Challenges that the other one face,

When we can only see their golden feathers.

We need to put ourselves,

In other person’s shoes,

To understand how things actually are,

Look they fine, but are not so good!

Each of us has suffered,

Wounds so deep and blue,

But suffering is universal,

It is not just you.

Those who are successful today,

its not the result of a single day,

Failures, losses, miseries,

Always take something away!

Each has his own destiny,

Which no one can snatch away,

Things that are meant for us,

Will always find our way!

So, when you spot someone

Who seems so lively and full,

Stop once and think for a while,

For deep inside there’s sure to be a vacuum.

Unaware of even tougher challenges

That the other one face,

When you feel you deserve to be in their place,

Be thankful for where you are,

For it is by God’s grace!
