I Wish

Life is a series of fights and disillusionment

Tears roll down my cheek unseen

Ghosts from past haunting

Ripping my insides apart

Stabbing me with the unforeseen ..

Why was I so? Why was the time such?

These seem to be pretty vague now!!

When all i see is the dark ahead

And the dark still lurks behind ..

The cries of my past piercing me

Blood draining from my eyes

My ears have become deaf

And my breath become stale ..

Every moment the same pain

And every day the sun down

The night seems unending,

And the stars too seem to be misleading ..                            

The moon silently gazes

The dark clouds seem to smile

Even they seem to cherish

In seeing me fail the extra mile ..

My life has come to a halt

No idea where it leads

And now my blood filled heart

Envies every single breath I take ..

The times have passed

When the cheerful lad smiled

And all that is left now

Is the cold of the setting sun ..

The smile has become fake

Even the eyes lost their shine

The lips start to quiver

Thinking, mention of truth would be a crime ..

The glass that was once full

Is always empty now

And even when the times so elegantly changed

It has stopped changing itself ..

They say, like else it too will pass

And hope I do it does

But the hands of the clock just stay still

And the darkness prevails and grows ..

Looking back, all I have

Is me filled with faults

And its true to say

Time does not give a second chance ..!!

Those who I have hurt

Never seem to leave me or go

But the strength that once within dwell

Even that too is incapable to show ..

Every single step of mine

Has pulled me down

And now the pinnacle seems so high

My feet fall weak and tremble ..

The dream was to reach the sky

And yes, that I surely have

For even after all of this

The tyrants above just mock and smile ..

Life would have been so easy

Had I cared for me less

But still seeing my shadow from the past 

I still do find me in the dirtiest mess ..

I wish I was not a monster

To have brutally murdered so many hopes

But their spirits now haunt me

And my courage and esteem just more and more drops ..

Had my heart been my lips

And my lips could see

My lips, with pain would have screamed                                                                              

While my eyes stayed wet and zipped ..

But wishes don't help me now

Neither do they stop the ghosts

All I am left with now

Is me and me all alone ..

Make me a monster I did

But now please, let me be me

Because the night has to pass

And the sun has to rise ..

And that is all, what now I WISH ..!!
