A sonnet for tough times

When you are going through a tough time
What is supposed to be sweet is now as sour as lime

Remind yourself of when you grew
When you realised the only way through is through

Life can be really messy, unexpected and lonely
Amidst all that, you are your one and only

You now often do the cleaning, reading and shopping for grocery
You’ve found your spark, joy and daily life sorcery

We often think we need to get over our pain
Perhaps we just need to sit and think what did we gain

Everyone is looking for a life that is easy peezy lemon squeezy
What makes life worth it is something bizarre turned to breezy.

Sometimes life is really testing you and ghosting you
Quicker than you know, it is actually leading to goodness hosting you.

(PS: I used to write sonnets in Class 6. And maybe after that as well. No, this one is not ChatGPT. I don’t pollute my art with artificial intelligence.)
