Post It #11 Persistence

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and will always solve the problems of human race.

- Calvin Coolidge

Post It #10 - Discovery

Busy as we are finding ourselves
Simultaneously,
We wait to be discovered. 

Post It #9 - Solace

Happiness is..
Finding solace in solitude.

Post It #8 - Exhaustion

Hiding away from world
Till I find enough courage
To put back the fake smile on.

Post It #7 - Choice vs Destiny

It is still called regret
If you would change your decision
And choice you made
Given a chance.
But to save ourselves 
From falling into repentance
We put the blame on Destiny.

Post It #6 - Twinge

I am not a person who easily accepts defeat. I fight back, do whatever I can. And I did. For a long time. Failed. 

Next, I tried to run away. Escape. But I couldn't.  
Trapped. Caged. Stuck. Frustrated. 

Finally I accepted my defeat. And found an unnatural satisfaction in it. Drowned myself in the mundane routine things. Comforting in its inherent discomfort.

The pain comes back once in a while. Sadness engulfs like a tight hug. I don't have enough strength left to fight back. 

The twinge remains.
