Some things shall always remain a mystery
It works that way,
they say
the universe works in mysterious ways,
If that’s true,
It shall ensue,
that not every story has to be told,
Not every song sung,
Not every secret uncovered,
Not every answer unearthed,
Not every dream achieved,
And not every ego heaved,
All, for a mysterious cause , which in all probability is in favour of humanity, right?
Saving each from their vanity,
Well, I’m glad to have spent another passing moment in contemplation, glad to have retained my sanity.

A lil something i wrote-
Laced with desire
Poisoned with torturous guilt
Ignorant of it all,
Unacceptably,
Ambiguously,
Fuelled and,
Driven by diabolic impulses,
Suppression is a rut,
An ethical compulsion,
Bound in the chains of objectivity,
He suffers not just from insanity,
It’s potent emotional instability,
Hormones are the contumacious forces,
Trying to control his actions,
Sadistic and demanding,
His life is chaotic,
Filled with regrets,
Muzzled with distress,
Crippled by anxiety,
Fear of going astray,
Now, he’s lying on the philosophical road of life as a forlorn stray.

"to endure!"
vincent van gogh ("trees and undergrowth")
robert lowell [How will the heart endure?]
vincent van gogh [I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I’ll fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through.]
rainer maria rilke [To be loved means to be consumed. To love means to radiate with inexhaustible light. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.]
joan didion [Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.]
elena ferrante [maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.]
elena ferrante [I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured.]
han kang [The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure.]
victor frankl [What is to give light must endure burning.]
