Hung Up

Apprehensions and worries galore,
Uncertainties fill the air.
Self doubts starting to creep in,
He moans in despair.

Till some time back, all was well.
All planned out, and seemed to be the best.
Then one fine day, a light from an unexpected source
Shone dimly but unsettled everything that looked on course.

A new glimmer of hope arose
Old dreams returned on a new night
He thought this was his chance to make it,
And was ready to fight the fight.

So he played his part
And stuck to his task
Then all he could do was to wait,
With the deepest desire, that luck becomes his mate.

But in a few days, he got the first blow
One dream squashed before it could grow
The light turned out to be somewhat low
Were the signs of things to come beginning to show?

It has hit him hard
A reality check of sorts
Is there anything to look forward to?
Or is he headed to another dark?

He thought he could lay his hands, on what now looks like slipping away
As much as he wants to be in control, there isn’t any way
The storm of thoughts inside his head, has taken his peace away
Leaving him vexed and troubled, yearning to find the right way.

The more troubled you are, the better you write...
Darkness has to give light the way
May better (and bigger) things come your way.

Smile and work your way forward partner,
Cheers!
Happy Blogging!

Nice one...!! ...
It is right that the dark always seems darker after having seen a ray of light ...
So is true..that however dark is the Dark it will go away with even flimsiest ray of light...
Dark is not truth but the absense of truth...but light is the destiny....
Other's light can only give a delusion of hope and nothing is worthwhile which depends on "Other"...
As Buddha said..."Be a Light unto Yourself"

sometimes to find answers you have to move away from light and into the labyrinth of darkness...

a good one. just want to say "this is not end of the world" and you might regret in ur 30's when u would think how many years you wasted in gloominess/darkness.its purely your choice. out of choice are those in rwanda or ppl here in india who are dying in poverty and unhappiness is a part of their life but still they manage to smile.i say if you dont knw wht to do with this thing then let it just be there,go out and help somebody who is like you and see the difference.but you have to give a try (nd u arnt loosing nything in that)...i tried so saying.

- a well wisher.
