Life is joyous and content <br />Until I face that moment. <br />When an innocent or deliberate act <br />Wounds me with its impact. <br />A fragile soul am I. <br /> <br />Life then losses its joy and peace <br />In less than the blink of an eye. <br />Where once I stood strong and steadfast <br />Now reduced to heaps of ash! <br />A fragile soul am I. <br /> <br />I grope in the ashes of despair, <br />Searching for what was lost. <br />Afraid to find that hope again <br />Because it seems for naught. <br />A fragile soul am I. <br /> <br />Oh! A fragile soul am I. <br />Walking the light-rope of life. <br />Steady - sometimes falling <br />Forever wondering: Why? <br />A fragile soul am I!<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fragile-soul/
