Rebellious
Nowhere still
I have yet to decide
Yes, how to skip
Where to go
To evade solitude
Haunting from all corners.
Yesterday night
The torrential rain
Dampened my spirit
Now the cloudy dawn
Adds to misery,
Lazy, bereft of hopes
The dull mood
Is painted black
But the lightening woes
Keep on striking
From out of the blue?
The far-off hillock
Through the misty view
Still looks beautiful
But the mask of gloom
From where I aspire
To liberated myself
Is totally surrounded
By hopes deceitful
How should I free myself
Lo mighty destiny !
The tentacles of solitude
Still hold me in their grip,
Injecting venom of frustration
They lurk for the right time
To capture and squeeze
The youthful essence, perhaps
That confronts solitude’s might.
