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.

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, you have a great outlook on life. We've all been battered and rejected at various times, but the way you write about it has a charm of its own. Thank-you for your comment.
