What a mess!

Life's mystery unfolds on a daily basis.

Hardships and hope in every way.

Poverty's weight causes persistent tension.

People's tears flow like rain.

What a mess!

Sorrows and gloomy shadows pursue them.

Uncertainty and destiny unfold.

Every morning delivers a new, unexpected lifestyle.

Despite their trials, they strive.

Panic and hidden worries.

Inner whispers saying, "Hold on tight."

But darkness looms, and the nights are interminable.

The fight is real, and the sorrow is true.

A life of poverty and unresolved questions.

What to do?

They are still looking for a ray of brightness.

A chance to break free from the plight.

Their hope flickers, with a beacon in sight.

Always guiding them ahead,

even in the darkest nights.

    On the path of growth for each of us, the setbacks, failures, blows and challenges we encounter are not also a kind of gift? Sharpen our minds and complete our personalities
