Wrong Road
Life has many phases,
Some are easy, some are tough.
Well the most difficult is when we hit rock bottom and land on a mine.
I felt, I won’t survive.
I wanted others to give me hope,
As I could see no respite, I had lost my strength.
Always surrounded with my dearest pals,
When I raised my hands, it was complete darkness and no one around!
Everything seemed so dull,
To those, whom I looked up, I had already caused them pain.
No matter what I feel now, everything is in vain.
A black hole, where there is no light.
I don’t know if I want to survive!
In the darkness, I heard a voice
And followed it through miles.
The further I went; dimmer got the voice.
I thought, I have reached the destination,
Another fire and brimstone and that same pit.
The voice came again!
And I held the brim.
I climbed up where, I was before.
This time, the voice said – follow the rain.
This was just opposite to what I had walked till now!
And to my surprise, the voice got deeper and shrill.
I asked the voice, “How rain would give me shape?”
It said, “Walk alone, you need no one to grow!”
All I said was a simple “Thanks!”
I just walked without fear and fright.
Walking through the rain, I stood under the sheath of divine light.
When I looked through, I had to fight my eyes.
I saw her standing by my side.
Her arms around my body,
Complete warmth and security in my eyes!
She said “Hi” and I realised,
The voice was hers, she pulled me up!
I said, “I owe you my life.”
She said, “no my love, I live for you. Upon me you have complete right.”
“It’s yet not late, hurry up, live your life.”
I got up, to move forward.
I turned back and said, “Hold my hand.”
Let’s go together to my land.
Yes! She held my hand, we walked alone to my land.
I am where, I always wanted to be,
Enjoying every bit of it, just me and my mom!
