Poem Title:
Poem
Walking in these dark alleys Its been forever Pacing with hope from one end to another I search for the end of my story That belongs just to me These roads are stubborn they never seem to end And I am a stubborn who refuses to depend I keep wandering, Wandering in the wild to find some light A single ray would be enough To lighten up this dark lanes A single spark, I need to lighten the fire inside my veins But I find nothing; For, I am too into darkness Darkness that never succumbs to my screams Am I scared? Am I lost? Or am I just confused? My visions are blurred My senses are numb I see small clouds of dust in front of my eyes I try to hold on to them They are too fragile to be grasped Do they exist? Or am I hallucinating? The reality around me is masked What if I am stuck here forever in this dark place? What if the ray of hope I have been waiting for to rescue me doesn't find me? And I keep screaming for help Scream that echoes and comes back to me unaltered and unheard My consciousness is faded, its absurd My knees are now on ground I force myself to pace forward I have never learnt to stop or to quit I have never learnt to be a coward A cloud of dust I see again But this time its different- Filled with light, it rips away my pain I pull myself up Gather all my courage Squint my eyes to focus on the light Spread my arms to feel the wind flow I stand there strong and straight Let the energy sink in And ignite the fire within!!! -NK
