Trust and Toil

In a world of emotion-free human machine

When I find myself amidst all negativity

Working round the clock as robotic slaves

Lost in a world full of huge uncertainty

The workplace culture with rotten mindsets

Everything around me seems pageantry

Dual faces with both smiles and envy 

Makes me embittered and more gloomy

Seeing wrongs twisted to convert into rights firmly

Two sets of rules one for me and the other for some

Baseless reasons questioning my efficacy

Shakes the confidence making mind weak

All energy then dissolves leaving a frail spirit 

A feeling of worthless devastated being

Then blankets my worth and capabilities

This leads me into the darkness of perplexities

But with a calm mind and a silent breath

When two minds open to the world in me

A flash of divine light gleams from within

Radiating my confidence and belief in me

Teachings of life lessons from all struggles

Reminds me of all the potencies that I hold

With the strength of self-trust and hard toil

One can fight against all odds and so CAN I.
