Seeking Solace

  The Desolated Soul You know it's hurting when the smile has abandoned your way; You know it’s hurting when you don’t have words to say. You know it’s hurting when you spend all day sleeping; You know it’s hurting when you can’t put an end to weeping. It is the chapter of our lives which some of us have left behind; It is the chapter of our lives which some of us are still writing. Isn't this an ordinary depiction of normal human survival which some of us have left behind and some are still trying? Hurting is a part of life like gaiety.
