SOME STRENGTH, SOME HOPE
Posted by Sonu on November 3, 2011
(What is the night which symbolically means darkness and emptiness is actually the closest ally you could ever get and its the day that turns your enemy. What if, in the light you are misled and broken down and in the darkness you patch up. What if, its the bright that damns your life and the black that empowers you to move on???……
One of the greatest lessons in Life I have learned is that, there are some circumstances way beyond our control and although we would like to avoid them, they hit us just as badly no matter what. How much ever you pray or beg God to change things, the destiny that you have set out to fulfill shall not see a change….instead ask for strength…’coz in the end when all fails and each man journeys into the abyss, its ONLY the inner strength that shall keep on going…..)
As the darkness comes to close in
And the night draws near
I dream the dream to rock me to sleep
I let the dream sink in
After a long day of pain & sorrow
And before comes the inevitable tomorrow
I want this few hours of bliss
A hug of faith n a warm kiss
‘coz tomorrow again, the pain will rush in
And I shall be thrown out into the crowd
When each passing moment will be worse than death
When melancholy sunrise will greet me
I shall patch my soul the best I could
And move on carrying this burden…
I know I cannot change circumstance
The troubles now in an insolent dance
In middle of the day, the tears shall come
The unbearable heat of the glaring sun
My resolve will weaken as the eve will dawn
New hardships with each minute shall be born
And though I know you will always be there
Maybe not physically but in thoughts to care
My burden you will indeed share
My sorrow you will indeed bear
But the pain slices open my heart
It’s still my hurt to embrace
Although you will be my constant support
Those scattered thoughts I alone need to face
Towards the end of the day I will weaken
The beacon of light will go thin
And I ask not for my troubles to get erased
I just ask for some strength and hope
In the dying faith that held me together so long
I ask for some courage to cope.
They will descend on me like a pack of wolves
They will kick me and curse and hurt me bad
They will hold me responsible for nothing that I did
On me they shall continue getting mad
I will beg in front of them and cry
I shall shout and repeatedly ask why
I will get angry & vow to hurt them so
I will break the promises I made long ago
Yet all this is temporary, I know what I have to do
To continue on this broken path
The journey so long
The road so difficult
The untuned mistimed deadened song
To what level shall he test my endurance
To what extent shall he make me suffer
To what level shall he question my faith
Till survival gets tougher & tougher
Slowly the long day shall end
And the night from shadows shall descend
The darkness will be more welcome than the light
‘coz it will bring freedom to hide
In it shall I dream the dream
Of a much better future and a life
Something to cling on for a few hours of bliss
The broken promises I come to miss
But I know in minutes this night too shall end
And with the day, I shall bow down and bend
Till then let me gather the energy
Let me prepare my self for the dying hour
It’s the day that terrifies me, and chokes me dead
The colors blind me & leave tears to shed
The arrival of the morning soft & slow
The light that engulfs comes with the flow
The nature that will illuminate
An air tight cocoon of hate
As the first ray of sun hits my face
All I ask is for some strength and hope
The blackness slowly delivers me into light
As all I ask is some courage to cope…..
