Not the Life

"Not The Life" "Not the life i wanted .." He thought everyday he woke up..; As he prepared for the battles ahead..!! He opened his eyes with the wounds still fresh...; Pain still there as he tried to put on the battle dress..!! Lost count of the blood and tears he had already shed.. Just thinking "Not the life i wanted .." As he prepared for the battles ahead..!! No one to cry for him when he is gone.. No one to nurse the bleeding wounds when he returns..!! His life was nothing more than of a walking dead..!! Living through the struggles all alone.. Lost count of the broken dreams..!! Just thinking "Not the life i wanted .." As he prepared for the battles ahead..!! Not sure who he fights for.. Not sure why he still lives...!! Fighting through the day one thought comes in mind.. Would it be the death where he find his peace..!! As his bones break, so does his soul... He just kept thinking... "Not the life i wanted .." As he prepared for the next battle ahead..!! With the day end, the war was over..!! Celebrations all around.. People feasting, girls dancing.. Lights and colors all around..!! And a feast was on the battlefield too.. Where the wolves ate the poor soul..!! With all bones broken he can't run or fight.. Blood flowing attracting more to the feast..!! He felt the hungry jaws crunching .. On the already broken limbs..!! He lived and dies too in pain ... He just kept thinking... "Not the life i wanted .." As he prepared for the unknown journey ahead..!!
