LIVE AND LET LIVE

They say it's her fault
They say she should have seen it coming
They scrutinize her and blame her family
For letting her believe in the strength of her wings.

Yes, all she did was believe
She believed that it's a world that appreciates life
She believed it's the love that goes by
She believed it's human she's surrounded by.

But humans are complicated
Unlike the word, they are all inhuman
Manipulating every little thing
By adding but, as long as, and only ifs.

Why is it so hard to make your mind up?
If love is what you choose, love everything the same
If hate is what you choose, hate everyone and yourself as well
If life is what you choose, live and let live.

'Cuz there are no segregations when it comes to pain
Everything that breathes gets hurt the same
There's no point in giving reasons or explanation
Accept that It's our thoughts that need the medication.

-Laxmi Bhargavi Golla
