Kiran Bantawa Poet Free verse

Stitching My Life

The shoe I wear it pinches

The cot where I lie it aches

And when I walk on the road

I stumble upon by potholes.

Still I walk on with

Aching foot and aching back.

The opportunities I found,
it slipped

The desires I made,

I ejected. 

The dreams I dreamt,

it vanished.

Upon my head a blue sky

Beneath my feet the ground,

I believe -

Heaven and hell you make

With your deeds.

I raced with time but

I'm left far behind

Will no one lift me up.

So from today -

I'm stitching

my torn and patched life

with the needle of a new day and

the thread of Hope.

Poet Tacito September 24, 2013 at 8:58 AM Hi, Kiran! Great to meet you! You placed 8th on my "Know your Place" contest. You presented a strong challenge/battle within self. Ultimately, ending it with a glass half-full mentality. You didn't focus on the downfall only. That speaks volumes. Great work! Kiran Bantawa September 24, 2013 at 10:21 AM Thank you Drake for giving opportunity to take part in your contest.
