Equation, by Kavitha Krishnamurthy

Life's problems are like math equation
each one having a different formula
to arrive at a solution

Life’s geometry is full of mystery
Everyone has their own story
Happiness lines run parallel
To difficult angles of life

Opportunities and struggles
are X and Y axis in life’s graph
the point where they intersect
mark new beginnings
in our personal map

We subtract our ego
to add meaning and substance
in our relationships

We multiply the joy
by dividing and sharing
it with our family and friends

We understand our differences
to differentiate our weakness
we integrate our strength
to inverse our fortune
to face all life’s struggles
and emerge victorious

Math is there in our day to day life
each mathematician uses a unique formula
to solve life’s theorems and theories
and to show the world that
all life’s difficult equations
does have simple solutions
