Friday word #FALL

 My first attempt to write a short story on Friday word # FALL

Fall
The exhausted athlete Vikram was crestfallen. He could have easily won the race. What made him slow down and FALL . Was it his overconfidence, tiredness, constant family fights or his bitter breakup !!!!
Coming from a lower middle class family, life has always been a struggle for him putting him through various trials. Being the eldest amongst his 4 siblings, he always had to go through shortage of food, clothes, privacy, compromise on his education and studies. .
He was average in studies and excelled in athletics. He found athletics to be his stress buster. His interest became more deep-rooted once Vanitha started practising with him. He found solace in her company. Both of them would get up early in the morning and indulge in regular practices. There was a strong bond of caring and helping each other.
When they returned to the real world, things were not rosy. Family pressure, society, money all played a huge role and created distance between them. Vikram considered himself a loser in everything. His beliefs were broken and shattered by his own thoughts.
He deliberately took a fall to lose at every point .not realising TO FALL and to lose had become his habit.

Why do we go flat out to belittle our friends and relatives, Why we foul mouth dear ones, create ruckus and mayhem, Why don’t we realise that bad deeds return with a vengeance. God created earth and smartly made it go round and round. The earth is created not just for the mankind’s pleasure, It is the home for all the plants, trees, the animal kingdom, The beaches, the seasons, clouds, hills and valleys, The beauty is to behold, not touch and destroy. The Earth has seen many births and deaths, lot of greats, Everything ends up in mud and dust, a nobody in the end, Come to earth, enjoy the beauty, live, love and leave a footprint, Depart silently, with a smile, Mother Earth will embrace you

Reflection

  The heart full of ache, head in disarray, soul in slumber, The reality of life hits like a bullet, sudden and straight, Where's the elixir, the panacea, to come out of the hole, Who will break the walls of despondency, to a new tomorrow. Reflect on the love and affection, people who stand by you, Let despair disappear, and give way to hope and faith, Nothing is static, it's a dynamic scene, wrong can become right, Keeping hitting the wall, it will break under the positive vibes. Myriad of emotions, plethora of options, many an exit to start anew, Squares and rounds mingle to create a prism of brightness, The miasma of subconscious is wiped clean in showdown, The nature will Reflect the subtle war and the ultimate victory.
