FORLORN

Solitude, disgrace and misery,

Beat in my soul, with my heart.

In the journey of life, of my path,

Loneliness was an integral part.

 

Tears dried off my eyes,

There was no one to feel them.      

My soul was never at peace,

In my mind, there always was mayhem.

 

Moments of celebration, passed quickly,

Moments of frustration stayed for long.

My shadow was the only one that danced with me,

Decisions always seemed wrong.

 

Failures made me a pessimist,

Negativities in me were soaring.

Smile on my face was dying out,

Juices of sorrow, on my core, were pouring.

 

Hope still survives in my nucleus,

Optimism is still a part of my spirit.

A belief that the journey through the dark cave,

Is nearing its illuminated exit.

 

A day will come, when the rays of affection,

Will wipe off the loneliness in my soul.

When I’ll have a shoulder to cry,

And pats on my back, when I achieve my goal.

 

For twenty tears, I have been walking,

on the path, that life chose for me.

Henceforth,  I’ll choose my path,

And watch myself break free.
