What Do I Do?

A poem by Aarthy Iyengar
When difficulty blocks my shades,
disabling me to ahead of me look.
Oh! What do I do?
With basil, salt and tomatoes, I cook.
When life is full of struggles,
with no choice, no chance.
Oh! What do I do?
I up the volume of my song and dance.
When sadness chokes the throat,
like a big tablet tries to cling.
Oh! What do I do?
Loudly my heart-out I sing.
When the path I walk on,
locks around the feet with emotional hurdles.
Oh! What do I do?
Go to the pet and treat myself with cuddles.
When life shocks me,
beyond my capacity, so I faint.
Oh! What do I do?
Take to creativity, with brushes I paint.
When life's foggy,
these are my ways to cope.
Therapy of my own!
When roads end, with no visible scope.
