End of another phase,

As I navigate through endless maze,

Days after nights and nights after days,

I fight endless battle with life’s blaze.

 

Nothing really feels quite right,

Insecurity takes over and I feel like a mite,

For money and fame, having an endless appetite,

I chew more than I could ever bite.

 

“WHEN DO YOU GET TO LIVE?”, I hear this voice,

I pretend to be deaf, surrounded with other noises,

More than life, decided to embrace wrong choices,

Lost in the process are thousand fragrant poises.

 

“WILL MY ENTIRE LIFE BE A LIE?”

As body started falling apart, I ask with a sigh,

My judgment knew no reasons why,

May be with a wrong road map, I aimed for the sky.

 

Acne won’t sprout on skin with wrinkles,

Liters of lotion on my skin I may sprinkle,

Not finding the road to mid-life salvation,

Endless desperation showing in my frustration.
