Passengers of Life
Sometimes we feel we have everyone, A circle so full, a heart so surrounded. We laugh, we share, we trust too much— Believing we’re never alone. But then, in silence, we see the truth. The people we thought were ours Were only passing through, Like rain that never meant to stay. We find faults in the one who truly cares, The man who only wishes us to grow— His words we take as wounds, Not realizing they’re love in disguise. And when the world turns quiet, It’s our kids, our parents, our blood Who still remain when the lights go dim. The rest— Just passengers in our story, Stopping by without a purpose, Leaving without a sound. So I tell myself— Don’t chase the crowd, don’t beg for warmth. Hold close the few who are real, And block the fake with peace. Because this life is a short journey— And not everyone deserves a seat beside your soul. Daya Nair🫶
