"The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it"-William James

Caught between reality and fantasy
Torn between war and peace
Stuck between light and darkness
Attacked by love and hatred
Blinded by ambition and ego
I've been stuck in this unbeatable maze for quite a while a now
It's like i'm roaming around in a never ending circle
Fear is overtaking my senses
The walls are all closing in
And i'm running out of options
An explosion of emotions is looming large
Should i be pessimistic or should i hope against hope?
It's hard to keep living in a bubble of isolation
There are these times when u can't take it no more and just wanna break out and experience everything around you
I'm not afraid of death
It's the painful and lonely life that scares me
Betrayal has been a part of my existence ever since I can remember….
Lovers, friends..family…..no one spared me
Sometimes when I look up at the night sky… the stars seem to call out to me
I can hear them telling me—‘You’ve got no place down there…come up here…there’s plenty of room’
I had always dreamt that my life would change
That for a change I would matter to someone
But Alas!....some dreams just never take off
And now as I wait with patience to meet Death
I wonder….will Death give me that elusive peace I’ve been looking for?
But then again this is Death…..
…..No negotiations are possible here
It’s heartless
It will pay me a visit whenever it wants to
I’m now just a traveller on his final journey
There is no fixed destination
I will go wherever the flow of life takes me
I have no dreams
I have no hopes
I have no expectations
I wasn't an obnoxious creature
I never hurt people on purpose
I am just someone who somehow got lost in the chaos and violence of Life
I've gone way too far now
The quicksand of Life has engulfed me
There’s no way back now………..
No way back……….
