Strange Life.

Author's Note : The following is a 'Worambling' (Rambling with words).

The night woke up in the dark

Surrounded with silence 

Calmness overtook the litle patience

As I drifted from one thought to another

Winds swirled in the air

Somersaulting with the hot currents

The dark became dearer 

While the patience worn out slowly

For life is such

Whispered someone from behind my back

A voice so familiar

For it was none other than mine

While my strength drained

While my thoughts faded

Time was winning in its part

For it is a competition 

Little moments of bliss

Flashed like an old movie

Overwhelmed was I so see such serenity

For my mind never accepted such beauty

I failed to retrospect

When I realized struggle is not my type.

At my helplessness, People laughed

while Arrogance subsided the little hope. 

Defeated , I did feel

For my will was shattered 

Surrounded in darkness

I felt the suction into the black hole

In vain, I tried to escape

Which seemed like a distant dream

Determined I was to get out

Only to realize that I was already lost.

Little hope tried to keep me alive

Pushing me hard to relive

Every passing moment

Slowly belittled my determination

Deep was I in the despair 

For a little ray of light, if at all

Faded midst the torturous dark

While I tried not to lose hope.
