My Journey

From the gentle rocking and soothing darkness ,

A life was born from the womb, fragile and helpless.

I breathed, cried my lungs out and it was the beginning.  

The journey thus started , the roads  difficult. 

But I kept walking and stretched so far.

Where have  I reached? Nowhere , I am still stranded.

What have I gained? Nothing but sardonic barbs.

What have I lost? Many things that I held close to my heart.

What is remaining? Just Me, The silly , pathetic Me ..

Still I  kept walking , the hope is guiding my soul.

Take me , and be my companion in my ups and downs.

Or leave me , and set off to conquer your own heights.

But  please don't walk beside me to hurt me, laugh at me
Or to point out that I am a loser..
