Waiting For the Dawn

Finding your life at crossroads one day
Instantly turns you into a destiny’s prey
Toils and troubles never cease to hurt
Stupefied,you bear all the brunt
Its only solace that your injured soul seeks
Every character is perceived with greyish streaks
Deluged by an immense choking feeling
You see your life crawling and reeling
Your senses numb and heart afloat
Not even one painful shriek escapes your throat
Crooning you wish to disappear back to your shell
And shut the world that is living hell….
Looking out for a way to sneak ??
Pause and pounder…don’t freak
Search around and you shall surely discover
Numerous ways to win and conquer
Pick up your pace and don’t dither
Now is the time to act…don’t let your faith wither
Let conscience be your cynosure and lead you on
With hope in your eyes just wait for the dawn
