Why does Life go on?

“Why does life go on”

When Death is not an option…
It’s a decision of choice…
But when pained hearts are hands …
Which don’t and won’t let you go…
You have no choice….

When tomorrow is not an option…
But a reality you don’t want to face,
When sleep is an illusion that doesn’t help much,
In delaying the inevitable….
You look at the past in the eye…
And close your eyes…
In the hope that your eyes stay closed when that dawn comes….
If it still comes…
you close your eyes and wait for the day after…
Until Tomorrow ceases to exist…
If tomorrow does not come….

When prayers are not an option…
At seeking salvation, because love has duties attached…
You pray others will go on without you…
Knowing very well they can’t…
But that is what a prayer is…
And a prayer is not an option…

When pain is not an option…
It’s a cherished companion…
You spread the pain without knowing you do….
And your near and dear share it
even though you like enjoying it alone…
The pain must stop…albeit only for the others…

When tears are not an option…
But a matter of free flowing thought…
Words are powerless…
But tears fail you at keeping others happy…
Why are they for?
If they can’t ease one’s pain…
And multiply others’ pain to manifest in their eyes….
They are not an option…

Life shouldn’t go on…
But it will…
Damn It…

bhagavan therivadhu illai, bhakthi yum kuraivadhillai...
kaadhali pesavum illai,

subtle-a oru piece .... athuvum enakku therinja thamiz la ezuhtalaanu paathen avlothaan!!!

meaning is as---

'kan moodi' signifies death!

'kan thiranthen' signifies opening of the 'knowledge eye'

so jus b4 death i prayed... and saw my God!.... and next to death... went to God again!

athanaala.... 'nee en saranaalayam'

puriyutha?!
