Give and Take

Give and take, melodies in your name

One wouldn't mind replaying, reveling in thy glory again

Usher a note benign,

And then take it from there, to a song of your own

In this tedious melancholy of everyday, don’t struggle

Dare.

And pray why, you’d ask me? I contemplate…

Aren't these the days you've missed out on?

Time constructively lent to learning,

Something new, something historic, something different than the everyday

Grasp!

Take it in your stride, like you do

It’s this once in which you have

From an alternate where you wouldn't

Pray! What would that be? If not the maddening rush of this time, this day

It will tire you,

The spirits it thrives on, yearn to breakaway

Lend it, have it sail someplace far away

Where you can rejoice, rejuvenate what remains dampened with strain

In your mind, alight

Find your happy place.

Yet, take my word don’t lose hope, don’t give up, run away

For what’s worth a million,

It’s only fair to spend a hard day, in sweat and in pain

For what it’s worth

It’s only for you to gain.

Stare the gloom in its wake

With that glint in your eyes, stark shining like a moonlit night

Face the heat,

With that smile playing along your lips, a mischief’s delight

Beat the blues,

With the playfulness of your eyes,

Win your battle,

Like another test of times,

For what it’s worth,

Trust yourself

Believe,

That perhaps there isn't a groove that you see,

That’s your niche you've set aside.
