(A poem ,a song? I don't know , what I just wrote down. But , I wrote it with all my heart - at least the tiny broken pieces left of it )

HOLD ON
Hey you!
This moment ain’t
permanent. 
Embrace it.
I know it ain’t a new
gospel 
Or something. 
But it is true.
There will come an
international relations paper
Which gives you the
feeling 
That you aced it. 
Embrace it. 
Because it ain’t
permanent bro.
This moment when you 
Open your contracts
question paper
Well prepared with
all the
Expected questions of
the 
Last 5 years.
And
life/god/nature/paper setter
Decides to ask that
20 mark question
Which has never been
asked in the past
12 years.
Remember! 
This also ain’t
permanent bro. 
Don’t embrace this
godforsaken moment 
Try shrinking it away
by 
Not giving it enough
importance
Don’t repress it
though ,
You might get cancer.
But that is because
Everything causes
cancer nowadays. 
Please hold on to
that moment
When your lady love 
Walks down the aisle 
Clothed head to toe
in white
And love , full of
life. 
Because 
You might lose your
best friend in a
Helicopter crash
And your lady love
loses her left leg
And blames you
And you end up having
to leave her
Since you forget when
you laughed last .
Thank you Shonda
Rhimes
You have taught me 
That this moment
ain’t permanent.
Damn you T.V shows. 
If that isn't enough,
You are one moment in
the 6th grade
Declaring you’ll all
be besties for life
And the next moment
You are walking down
the same streets
5 years later , 
With not even 1
bestie in sight
Separated by change
in schools , colleges,cities 
Not
Your dramatic fights
, jealousy or treachery
Just 
Life simply moving on
With or without you. 
Time makes us forget
, not care 
Just move on to
Another set of
unrelated events
to be embroiled in
&
Which we strive to
find meaning in.
We will never learn
To cope with all the
broken hearts
And badly meandered
relationships
The least we could
try
Is to 
Hold on to this
moment
This beautiful one
which you 
Hope to recall
When a lorry is
coming out of nowhere
To take your life
That safe moment 
When your dad holds
your hands in his
So casually yet so
reassuringly. 
That crazy moment when
You jumped off the
seat 
Watching a very funny
movie with your friends.
Or quite simply
The ones after a very
good meal. 
Because brace
yourself babies,
Life is just behind
that curb
Waiting to bulldoze
this
One moment
With a million messy
ones
Hold on. 
 
I don't know whether to laugh out loud or to contemplate life as I read this :D Good one :)
