like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

life is all about options. that's what people say. that's true. but not always.

life is also about compulsions.
something that we can't choose.
something that people choose for us.
something fated for us.


when it goes for choosing either what we want or what we are fated.
when we are fated for what we don't want.
when we are chosen for what we don't want.

one word: suffocating.
