I am shadowed <br />By the illusions of a past that huddles, <br />Silent, but knowing that I am afraid of them. <br />The past scatted and lingered <br />Created ruckus and rhythm <br />Which I had so long forgotten <br />May be something I do not want to hear. <br /> <br />The time is up, the deadlines are drawn <br />The final queries are about to come <br />Which is right? what is wrong? <br />A lumpsum of prevailing questions, <br />Demanding from me, the answers.. <br /> <br />I am enforcing the sentences onto the paper <br />Making lines and lines <br />On the white parchment <br />My head splits, memory twists, <br />I am searching for the lost answers.. <br />I am the learner <br />But I question the depth of this wisdom <br /> I search not for the answers of an exam <br />But for the answers of my own life-an enigma! <br /> <br />I stand on the cross roads <br />Wanting to be free and fly higher <br />To break all the clutches restraining me. <br />Freedom, a discovery of the past <br />By the present for the future. <br />It is what I long for, a dynamic search <br />Adding colours to the lessons of survival... <br /> <br />I want to remove all my disguises <br />And step outside, <br />To face, directions galore. <br />Let me decide my path to victory <br />Because I know, sky is not the limit.....<br /><br />Aiswarya Menon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-shadowed/
