Drowning in Despair!!!




Oh God! I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating!

All my senses are jumbled up.

Engulfed in ice cold water under thick  condensed air,

Arms flinging and rummaging in despair.

Trying to grope onto something,

Anything to hold on to, just anything.

Attempts to resurface from this whirlpool are vain,

All of the sudden effort to strive seemed in disdain.

Oh! I feel something holding me, to pull me up for a new breath,

A hope arises of escaping death.

Alas, it’s nothing but a sea-weed,

Putting an end to my utopia with nowhere to lead.

Strength of the soul seems to be vanishing in a jiff,

The anguish is, kind of, winning in this tiff.


Succumbing to the pressure of living, the limbs went limp,

The chances of survival were anyways very grim.

Failing attempts of resurfacing once in a while, to gulp a gasp of air,

Just to sink again in despair.

Just as seconds keep ticking, the will to live keeps weakening.

Eyes begin to blur and thoughts begin to slur.

Just as the brain is going into a daze,

The heart realises it has to keep its pace ablaze.

From the two choices that the mind had, it choose the easier one

Unprepared to face this unfair world where it would have never won

Glimpses of the life flashed through piece by piece

May the blessed soul rest in peace.

The ray of dawn did not succeed to revive the rubble

All that was visible was the light at the end of the tunnel.
