HURRICANE

In this battle of life,

Where we all are forced to strive

Of fear- fear of expectations,

Of acceptance and ostracization

A fear of being misheard and misunderstood,

A fear of being heard and rightly understood

This is how life owes you a lot,

Turning round just when you hit a jackpot

A nightmare foreseen yet unbelievable,

A loss- unwanted,unexpected and unforgettable

A turmoil- silently screeching near,

Too harsh, too destructive and hard to bear

Dealing with the same ordeal,

Shedding and tiptoeing on heels

Far stretched mass and blood stained wrists,

Dusty eyes and icy cold winds

A loud shriek and a painless cry,

An hopeless attempt and a long sigh

I shouted, I freaked ,

I panicked , I screamed

For that one last chance,

The only way to save me from a trance

Standing, frozen on that far stretched lane,

Came the life taking hurricane

That took my breath away,

Cold, shivering there I lay

With every passing second,

And the load with which I was burdened

I struggled, stood up and walked on,

Readily challenging that one thorn

To move on and give it a reason,

Of being free from shackles of prison

That had stopped me since years and years,

And give myself a way through those tears

Passing through the hurricane,

And crossing that same lane

I stood up again, stiff and strong,

And hope that would let me survive for long !!
