If life was simple

If life was that simple,
universe wouldn't have been this complicated
algebra would have been everyone's cup of tea
and a cup of tea wouldn't have been this hard to master

If life was that simple,
faces and phases would have been easily deciphered
symbols would have been universal
and meanings would be similar to actions 

If life was that simple,
the journey from naiveness to maturity would have been smooth
a book would be same for everyone
and everyone would have a similar story

life wasn't supposed to be simple
it will never be
and the beauty of it lies in acceptance
of realities and moving on, bravely.

Roses, and thorns

roses, and thorns
rainbows and unicorns

the silent bird chirps in loneliness
as the world moves fast, a few beings regress

the done, undone and not done now, such hazy
smiles and frowns, oh so crazy

and then amidst this shrek of unknown
the pains are cherished, happiness is felt in the moan

you call it life, i call it living
undefined, we let it be for the misgiving

loathe in it, drag or run
cherishing to acknowledge the pain in the fun

it is there, oh the movement still
thoughts to live by, or thoughts to kill

roses, and thorns
rainbows and unicorns
