Optimistic
Optimistic!!
Optimistic…should I still be optimistic?
No matter how much I get pain,
No one cares how much it rains,
Just passing time remembering the gains.
Should I still be optimistic?
Miserable life, vulnerable pride, feeling like a corpse inside home,
No one is around to share, for care or to admire.
Lonely, too abandoned life.
What is left to feel it fine?
Still trying to feel energetic.
Lost all companions, all fame, colors and fumes of life.
This journey of my existence is strange, with nothing occupied.
Just floating on air, doing infertile chores and -
Glaring at the chess board thrice.
I achieved all unanticipated things; name, fame and grade,
Roamed around the productive world; won, but lost all in no time.
My expectations are remained unnoticed
Non explicable to ordinary.
I felt thirsty for water years after years,
They brought me wine;
I wanted to touch rain water,
They took me to ocean.
Ocean is not desirable to me
She is enormous, too speedy to stay back and listen to me.
I can’t imagine her to be my best pal,
I’d rather prefer the romance-lake, as it is affordable.
What man needs, doesn’t get it exactly
Whatever he gets, should love that madly.
So, what is next? I’m trying to feel happy,
Grasping whatever I’m blessed with spontaneously;
Life is one; don’t dare to lose it imprecisely.
I am optimistic, would nurse my soul to stay vigorously.
