Is It That Bad To Be Sad!

Stepping in the future,
Letting go off the past,
It’s easier to say,
Because it leaves an impressionable impact,
We cry, we try, we succeed & we fail,
Despite every effort,
We still can’t get rid of the past’s trail.

A new day,
A new vision,
Looking at life from a new horizon!
Who loves to be sad?
Nobody does! 
But sometimes,
We can’t control your own happiness,
How much ever we feel,
It’s us who have the power,
But at times,
Emotions do overpower.

Why’s it important,
To be happy always,
So much so,
That at times we have to fake,
Isn’t sadness too a feeling equally qualified,
Then why does it lack the tantamount pride?
Aren’t we supposed to feel,
Different shades in the spectrum of emotions,
How’d we ever witness a rainbow,
If there’s no rain but only sun?

Ever wondered,
If there’s a purpose behind ‘dusk, autumn, fall & rainfall’
If it’s sunlight and spring forever,
Won’t the dawn lose its charm?

It’s tough to be Happy all throughout,
Maybe embracing the sadness,
Brings all the pride to happiness that it glibly enjoys,
Perhaps the wick of sadness,
Keeps itself burning always,
To let happiness achieve its glory, grace & praise.

Probably such is the fate of all that’s underrated in life,
The overrated gets to leverage the hype,
The underrated secretly paves the path,
Silently imbibing all the wrath on its part,
But the overrated proudly walks with its chin-up,
And we, the fools, nonchalantly ask ‘what’s up?’
Leaving a soul with not much of choice,
Because ‘I’m fine’ or ‘I’m great’,
Are the most socially acceptable replies!
