DESPAIR

Smoke spreads in the sky, a fire rises beneath,
A storm lies within me silent yet fierce.
Fire burns brightly, darker gets the smoke,
With all my efforts I try to breath but I’m choked.

The stillness of this graveyard is such
That you keep on waiting but no one turns,
You think you had the worst of times,
But still there is worse to come.

This is not disappointment, this is not frustration,
This is the reality now, which really matters.

A defeated soldier in the war of life,
Has no aim for which he should stride.
Then why does he feels constant storm inside;
Causing him pain, till ultimately he dies?

But there are people for whom I should live,
No matters how much the situation is grim,
There are people for whom there should be my smiling face
No matters how much this heavy heart aches.

Then why can’t I bring joy to all those
Why am I unable to stop being morose?
They want to see happiness and cheer,
But I’ve got so obsessed with tears –
That as the compelled smile fades
Again to bring it back, a great effort is to be made.
