My heart is just too small to swallow pain whole,
It does overflow and the pain trickles out, hurting someone else..
But it does that with happiness too,
and i sincerely hope that the ones who bear the pain unflinchingly,
enjoy the warmth of the joy more...

Option c: None of These
As you grow up, you begin to realize that all the rights and wrongs in life are not so clearly defined. Life is not just Black or White..There are shades of grey in everything that you observe. This becomes clearer when you fall into such situations yourself, and when you do it, there are umpteen ways to justify it, arent there?
An act that seemed unpardonable in the beginning is looked at in a new light, and you begin to realize that it might be legitimate in some circumstances. You begin to question your own beliefs and begin to see why a person might have done what you thought was unquestionably a wrong thing to do. Makes life even more harder, dont you think? A lot of it then depends on your judgement and a judgement is very subjective, difficult to pass when you yourself aren't so sure about what is right or wrong.Maybe you just dont know the context in which the 'crime' was committed or your perspective is still very narrow...
Confused? Me too.
But then i remind myself of that million-dollar quote from 'Before Sunrise', taken in a different context here.
'The answer must lie in the attempt'.

The Loner
They tell me - You take such good care of us,
So thoughful, so understanding,
You listen to us lament about all our moments of pain,
Our times of suffering,
in our hour of need.
They say we like you for that reason,
you listen patiently, unflinching,
you are our rock, you give us a shoulder.
I smile and say, thats what friends are for,
as panacea for troubled times,
a harbour in a tempestuous sea.
I say, revel in my companionship,
for I will give you peace when you have none
I will give you solace when you're undone.
They just smile and say - we know we can count on you,
Everyone needs a friend like you..
I smile and just think - When will you realize,
I need a friend like that too..
