Broken

 A brutal face-off with the reality

With life’s complexity and unpredictability

My beliefs have shattered into pieces

Pointless are all learnt lessons and past experiences

Lying lifeless on the floor, bloodless

Yet smeared in blood

Because my dreams have been murdered

By the ruthless fate it seems

I have fought for too long

Even though proved wrong

Again and again by my enemy

Who played foul strategy

To mar my dreams

My forlorn face

Losing its grace

My wrinkled feet are the victim of the cruelty

It did on me to show its superiority

I tried till I dropped

Tried till my heart heaved

Till my eyes became too blind to see

Ignoring all my plea

The heavy price my heart paid

All the tears I shed

Still I never stopped chasing my dream

Because it was all I wanted

But now they are just shadows, deeply haunted

 Nobody warned me

 Dreams could be so expensive

So wrong I was to assume

My hard work would bear fruits so extensive

For I learnt it my way

That you bleed to death

If fate takes revenge

For the mistakes you never comprehended

And you are left pondering why everything ended

Now that’s all I can say

I have lost my power to walk

I am like the key with a deadlock

Walked miles without any direction

In sheer hopelessness and desperation

Wherever fate led me

In search of my destination

But it’s a dead end as I can see

This journey seems much longer

Than I thought

Lying on the floor

 My dream has lost its glory

Looking at them I ask myself

“Are they meant to rot”?

Broken and tortured

Like a wingless bird

For whom nobody cared

Caged for an eternity in doubt and fear

Remorseful over her own state

But I refuse to give up

I refuse to surrender

My valor is my hope

My perseverance is my strength

 I am stronger than I think

I will fight

Till I make things right

 Though in pain, not a coward

Though expensive, so invaluable

My dream

I will chase it

Till I breathe and fight with the fate

Until it bows down,

Even if it’s late

And will entitle myself to the victory crown

I will walk even with a crutch

And continue my search

I won’t be at rest

Until I achieve my conquest

I am on the quest for the light

That will motivate me to keep moving

 And dreaming

 Kindling a hope of a better tomorrow

Whose radiance will take away all my sorrows.

 Breaking me free of all my doubts and fear.

And I will smile

And sparkle like a diamond.

Rising high as the time passes by.
