The battle fought <br />Between my soul and mind, <br />My conventions and contradictions, <br />My being and my death <br />Call it suicide and open the doors. <br /> <br /> <br />My inability to negate <br />My own self ever since long <br />Surrendering myself <br />To self chosen ignorance <br />Call it suicide and aerate the room. <br /> <br />Trying to still <br />The mind in the self <br />Impotent with pen and ink <br />Hungers to write history with sword <br />Call it suicide and sterilize the room. <br /> <br />Understanding the cosmos <br />But never the ego <br />Neglecting the self <br />Try to reach the summit of life <br />Call it suicide and incense the space. <br /> <br />Trying to tread the trodden path <br />The highroad of pride <br />Forgetting the inner spark <br />The elevating element of absolute <br />Call it suicide and disintegrate me to pieces! <br /> <br /> <br />4 10 08<br /><br />rajagopal haran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/160-haunting-suicides/
