I know not where life takes this soul called “me” <br />Maybe to a world, where at every step, there is tribulation <br />I hope I can be wary at every second in history <br />For yours truly to savour life without any guilty notion <br /> <br />Sometimes I think I never will come back <br />From the depths of guilt and heart-wrenching sorrow <br />And other times, I vow never to look back <br />So that I can work solely for a better tomorrow <br /> <br />My mind is confused, often blank <br />About the places to go to, and the things to be done <br />But living life is like walking on a pirate ship’s plank <br />I have to know your strengths, or I’m gone <br /> <br />There are two people, in spite of perceived eccentricities <br />Who, in supporting me in life, are just <br />I wish for my fate to not cause any more oddities <br />I wish for myself to not break their trust <br /> <br />And then there comes another lovely being <br />Who comes to me and stands by me <br />She loves me in spite of everything <br />And I wish, in future, to live with her happily <br /> <br />So many dreams, so many ambitions <br />But what good is all of it without any aim? <br />Time will patiently go through all its motions <br />And it will reduce life to a cruel game <br /> <br />I don’t want to lose them, they are my life <br />They perpetually wish the best for me <br />I wish, in my fate and mind, there was no such strife <br />So that I could make my family proud of me <br /> <br />I still don’t know where life takes “me” <br />I hope it brings, to my life, success <br />Peace, happiness and prosperity <br />It would definitely be better than life’s depressing abyss<br /><br />RONY PATRA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rantings-of-a-hassled-teenager/
