At night when I think I may
Rest after another eventful day
My shower and dinner made,
In grace I retire to bed
Thinking how I passed the day
How did I fare my way...
How I spoke.. smiled and waved...
How every witty verbal I played...
How with other, I had fun...
Feasts of smiles with sorrows none !
But all that seemed so plastic
The REAL life's much more elastic...
Was all this enjoyment true?
Was all that really what I'm going through?
And I, whose day had ended,
Entered introspection, those thoughts bended
And my real day began so
Tears, anger and spirits low
My mask for the day fell...
As I returned back to my hell
Where Happiness had no part
Love and friends completely apart
Alone and sad realising I lay
Feigning all thoughts that destiny may
Put on ym path to test
And to endure all my best
The only hope I had that night
Was of the coming day- a very new fight
To shut down my faults
To refill decreasing vaults
A single drop ran down my cheek
As I promised never to be meek
In this storm, I'll make a clearing
In this time, I'll keep my bearing
And then all defeats which in me had filed
I got past them by will; to them, I smiled !
I thanked that night from heart
Which had awakened me with a start
Now to me was no danger
But there was hope, my winning wager
O thwarting time, you cheat me as ever
But henceforth, I shall bow to you never
Keep taunting me with your might on...
But now Hope's mine... I'll just fight on...!
