Afraid of This Life!

Some days I lock myself

Escaping into my cosy hide

As I try hard to shut them out,

Wanting those emotions to step aside

 

As I sit safely in my hide

Faraway from the clutches of grate

Grinned by reality, massacred by hate

Someone is today, in the hit-list of fate

 

As I am stuck with my silly affairs

Confused with which color and what to wear

Someone is battling the ruthless cold

Shivering tonight, forlorn and bare

 

I fear the cold and the burning pyre

Afraid of being dumped into the fire

Silently I quiver, howl and cry

Why is life, an illusion, a liar?

 

I shudder and wail beneath my hide

Scared of blood drops dripping from knife

Scared of being raped, of becoming a bait

At times I feel lonely, afraid of this life!

An old soul who is passionate about reading and writing since childhood. You can find me within the intricate delicacies of  nature and the divinity of the Universe. I believe in the magic of the Universe and miracles of  mother nature. Every sight every object and every person that is soulful and has a bit of 'green' appeals and inspires me.  I believe that we all are made up of stardust and have a little magic within us. The miracles of nature is endless and once we start believing it, a plethora of synchronicities and chances will await our way.

      Sometimes I too scared by the bizarre happenings..find no logic to satisfy my queries….it seems the whole universe is a mixture of positive n negative vibes..sometimes they amuse us n sometimes they terrify us…
      Beautiful expression of your emotions..
