Longest struggles in life <br />Nights spent in agony <br />Separation and a beloved in sweet dreams <br />Delayed gratification <br />Was the lessen learnt <br />Putting behind the immediate gain <br />The gain though was intangible <br />But in the affairs of the things <br />The gratification went sour <br />For something to be regained in the form of tangible <br />Others claim on my life <br />Altruism put to an extreme stretch <br />A gradual rethinking <br />In time span that is too late <br />A reward unseen was the goal <br />Or I may get one <br />Dreams turning nightmares <br />Life unfolding like a drill <br />From morning till evening <br />And the repent of the night <br />A rebirth I want <br />From the years that I lost <br />The values dear <br />Turning into enemies of the yore <br />Break it free <br />Though the time is short <br />For a rebirth <br />A life new to begin <br />And again <br />The time is not my own <br />I will live for others <br />But honor I want <br />As my last possession <br />And a new rebirth<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rebirth-34/
