Sigh!

But!

How could I let go a collection of years!

Ideas, dreams, opinions, and oh! tears

Carefully filled with countless thoughts;

a mind, that has never known to stop..

Sinking deep in a murky bottomless pit

Tied to a lurking fear, is there no exit?

Gosh!

Every nerve in this body stretched taut

Is now cold to the answer being sought

Waiting for someone to clean this mess

And make a little space for happiness…

Then one day I decided to press ‘pause’

And deliberately observe each clause

Eeh!

Awful yet alive with moulds as in blight

Some ghosts of those long out of sight

Having cherished them all this while...

I found hard to own an archaic compile

It was time to bid farewell to each kind

And to begin I stepped out of my mind

Sigh!

A deep breathe in to cape each thought

And breathe ’em out, a monstrous lot

Sshhh!

No voice in my head, just empty space

As if I had just finished a gruelling race

No questions, no opinions and no plans

No illusions of any existential command

Unplugged from remnants of the past  

Ready to re-discover the present at last
