Lament
Avadh Harkishanka 2018A3PS0322P
I sit in my chair, staring the flickering light,
Wondering if any darker could be the night.
If only I get up for what’s right,
And get me, myself to fight!
With every flicker, flash the memories,
Just to make me anxious looking for remedies;
Herd mentality drove me to scratch,
My dreams and actions have nothing to match!
Society, peers, family, I have many to blame,
But it’s me who couldn’t make it to hall of fame;
‘It’s never too late’, that’s what they say,
Pondering whether the past is made of clay!
I stand up with all the strength I can stack,
Only to know, it’s courage that I lack.
For a coward, dreaming is also futile,
I sit in my chair, staring the flickering light!
