Light After Dark

I step into the bright sunlight And I blink many a time, Just as I start looking around, I hear the big clock chime. Sighing heavily, I turn around And step back into the dark, Nervous and tense I glance ahead, My path a question mark. Confused and sad, I fall to my knees, My mind in a clamped cage, Colliding firmly on the bars, My thoughts in a ferocious rage. Once in my life, I ignore my brain And decide to hear out my heart, Get up, it says, you got things to do, And now it's high time you start. Initially, aimlessly, I walk ahead, With no destination in mind, Only thing I was sure of was I now had a light to find. Suddenly, from somewhere, out of the blue My goal comes back to me, The path now becomes quite clear Better than it ever could be. I decide to work harder now And embrace my joys later, My goal does guide me a lot And helps me concentrate better. Someday it will happily end, So I try to enjoy it to the fullest, Thus, brightly, I take to my heart To smile at the hardest test. One day, surely, I will step in to the light With no fear of retreat, Coz I shall, will the dark, to bear fruit Which tastes nought but sweet.
