In the Struggle!!!

In the Struggle for existing, surviving, being.

I have lost my roots,

My desire, my dreams, my wishes,

Myself, all are forgotten…

Persons and things are changing

As its never been…

I saw in past to trace back my path

But the wind of time blown away my footprints..

In the Struggle,

I can’t wear a smile for which I’m known for.

Even I’m unable to wear that fake smile,

Which conceal my problems..

In the Struggle,

When I’m being accused of wasting money and mundanity,

By some of the closest fellas..

Suspiring, I moved ahead..

Trying to retrieve, who I was, why am I here,

But, to no avail..

My friends are not there

To remind me

Who I am..

And, now, I negotiate

Through the thick and thin,

I struggle my way through.
