Ironies of life, I fail to understand, I keep my distance, yet it walks hand-in-hand!

Things I love to say, it makes me hold back, every step I take forward, it takes one back!

It leaves me alone in the middle of a busy crowd, while it haunts me in my own solitary ground!

Ironies of life, I fail to understand, life seems to be just sand-in-hand!

When I run for a simple life, it makes me thrive for more!

When I run out of time, it reminds me of things I don’t adore!

Ironies of life, I fail to understand, I plan it well, yet it walks unplanned!

When I love more, it leaves me in despair, why close relations are sometimes beyond repair!

When I care more, it takes me for granted, and sometimes love just seems to be ranted!

Ironies of life I fail to understand, even if I stop, it starts from where I stand!

When I fail to know what I need, it gives me another reason to lead!

When I just feel tired of all, it gives another purpose to recall!

When sad storm blows for a while, Yes, it gives me another reason to smile!

The farer I go, it pulls me closer to its end, more than anyone else….

Irony seems to be my friend!
