Mind was clouded;
frustration enshrouded!
Hoped for a clearer mind.
Brightness it should find!
Not happy, was I, with any work.
Backstabbers! Every corner they lurk.
"I have no achievement!"
To myself I lament.
No opportunity to prove myself.
No earnings to stock my shelf.
All, around me, in their strides, have spring.
Alas! I'm tied down; depression the string!
For others' sake, I go out of my way.
For their hassles, soul and spirit I lay!
To up my mood, no one cares!
A friendly time no one spares...
In mind, I want to get rid of darkness.
Outside, I don't mind the cloudy mess.
"Oh bring some peace! Bring some calm!"
I begged! Begged with outstretched palm.
On my way back home, raining it was!
My regular way would be by bus.
But today I chose to ease my pain.
So I walked. Like a kid I walked in rain!
*Dedicated to all those souls who are going through tough times! Hope that brought a smile...
