Best Poems Written by Mudit Aggarwal

I Know

I know you're trying
Or maybe pretending to
With dreams in your heart
And caution in your soul

You walk a path
Which is unknown
With no end in sight
Tumbling on in the night
Wondering about what 
 It means to be alive

A connection here 
An alienation there
That's the circle of life
Not sure if it sounds fair

Always preparing
Don't know for what
You've perfected your method
With a helping of mistrust

 Like a beam of light
 It shines  far away bright
 Illuminating the way
 Even when you fight
 
Angels and demons
You've encountered them all
Making friends with them
Or recognizing none at all

When the time comes 
You think you'd be ready
Still waiting to figure out
If it feels too dizzy

Events keep happening
People also change
It's the law of nature
Even memories do fade

The urge to matter
Or a will too mundane
Sometimes I ponder
What is it that keeps us sane

Faced with danger
Or just truly enraged
When to hold back
When to engage

What to expect
When all else fails
Cringe in a corner
Or adapt to the change

An odd sound
At the stroke of night
Reminds you of a time 
When it all seemed just right

Another rainy day 
Turns to a cloudy night
You set out in to the sunset
Wishing it's somehow alright
