WHERE AM I

I know not where am I
Walking in a long tunnel?
Or
Caught in a whirlwind?
I know not where am I

The tunnel seems to be an endless journey
In pursuit of...
What am I to fill in this blank?
Ah! It’s all muddled,
.
Is it knowledge?
Is it happiness?
Or,
Peace or pleasure?

Deadened by the lashes of fate,
I try to see a ray of hope
At the end of that tunnel
And, keep myself pushing ahead.

It is so dark and murky,
And there are snags.
I stumble succumbing to them
Left bleeding and broken.

Then a Hand appears in the dark,
Pulls me to my feet
As a succour to my aid
I get up and keep walking .

I am nearing the end
About to reach the light
Now I am there but
The light has moved far .

Deceived and deprived
Left only to find out that
It was an illusion and then-
I know not where I am.

  1. Talks well about you mom. What you have gone through is a rare medicine that hurts deep but keeps you afloat from the fake smiles. Hopefully, better days will be there too.
