"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……….
