Piece of Mind

what if the cracks were due to gripping too tightly? holding on to something more tightly so that it wouldn't slip away isn't always the solution... for it might just crack and break under pressure... as in the case of an egg... but how would i know if the grip is too tight or too loose? either way all would be lost... or maybe there was never much to lose in the first place... if only things were simpler... and straightforward... but how often is it easy in life? losing grip... losing everything... that would be the worst... other people have different opinions than mine... i am more pessimistic... but i should know best... or is that just what i think? i don't believe there were signs... but others believe otherwise... how can i travel the extra mile uphill when i keep on sliding down? there is so much weight on my back that i'll have to unload some off here... i wish everything was still going forward unlike now... somehow i don't have high hopes but i'm still hoping against odds they say... it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all... that's probably what makes us human... but the losing part must also be one of the worst times of one's life... but if it is part and parcel of human relationships, there's no escaping it... to live in a solitary shell would be far worse i think... there's no escaping the blood, sweat and tears... everything needs effort... failure must be faced with composure and closure... a rough journey to traverse... but i sure enough have to do it...
