My Path

I feel.

Feel there’s a noose round my neck.

In this vast universe of ours,

I am but a tiny speck.

Why should the world care about me,

This hapless victim of hate,

Time just goes on and on,

I know not what is held by fate.

On a journey of discovery am I,

Stranded and alone,

My mind ever so fragile,

In a dangerous zone.

Choices to be made,

Ever so important,

And I have lost my head,

The ground beneath,

Ever so brittle,

Very lightly I tread.

Keep searching here,

A beacon of hope,

A tether to a happy life,

Throw at me,

Whatever you will,

On and on I strive.

Have come so far,

Won’t give up now,

Won’t stop till I get there,

Where my destination is,

Don’t know it yet,

But one I’ll reach I swear.

The strength in me,

Just keeps on growing,

Does not let me go low,

Never will I ever,

Give up on myself,

Onwards to the end I go.
