Life is a one-way Journey...



I was small n knew nothing,
I was free and was happy.
I was never afraid of the fall even though people warned me that
I would get hurt after the fall.
I  never knew the damage it could cause.
Flowing on the hills so fresh n clean,
I never knew the value of it.
I never tried to stay away from the fall.
I never thought that I would fall.
I carelessly rolled and played at the edge.
I rolled around with songs of joy.
It was clean, it was fast, it was cool and
I never thought of anything beyond.
Unknowingly I reached a point so dangerous,
the waters flew so fast and rough,
I could not control anything that was around me.
I felt like I was facing a storm.
Finally I realized that it was the fall.
I remembered everything they told.
I heard it all it just echoed.
I was scared n tried not to fall,
I tried to flow back, I tried to hold on.
But life my friend did not let me escape the fall.
I rolled, I screamed, I cried and I fell.
Under the fall I felt so much pain.
I wondered why no one was there to help.
I wondered why the whole world was so deaf.
I was regretting why I never listened.
"I should have been careful", I screamed at myself.
I was annoyed, I was sad, I was broken inside and about to give up.
But this weird life did not let me give up.
It let me feel the pain under the fall.
I crawled, I jumped, I tried to climb up.
"I'm sorry my dear", I heard a voice.
"There's no going back the same way u fell down", it said.
"Life is a one way journey".
With much disappointment n tears filled in my eyes
I swam along the rivers of life.
It was not at all like on the top.
It was not clean, not attractive or beautiful at all.
It had mud, it had rocks, it had dirt, it was deep.
People threw stones, people threw dirt.
I knew that it was unlike the life on the top.
I badly wanted to run back to the top.
I tried so hard and failed all the attempts.
I finally realized and whispered to myself.
"Life is a one way journey, just move on"
I've been hit by the rocks, I've felt the depth.
I wished I could go back,
I wished someone would carry me back to the top.
Finally I knew that it's no point thinking of life on the top.
I understood that there's no point crying by thinking of life on the top.
I looked back and saw how far I've come
I never knew or felt how strong I've become.
I put on my courageous dress n told my self,
" Life is a one way journey, u must swim along"
Still the waters r rough n filled with rocks.
Still people throw stones and dirt.
And still the unshakable rocks stand in my way,
There's no going back I will move forward with strength n courage.
"Life is a one way journey", I shout with joy,
Cause that was the journey that brought me to this point.
Just hold on u will pass the hard times,
u will flow to the mighty oceans.
And travel to your destination.
U will definitely reach your destination my dear,
No rock, no dirt or no storm will stop u at all.
The mighty one who holds the earth,
will gradually take away all the obstacles,
And lead u to your destination,
To live the life u r dreaming of.
Always remember my friend , "Life is a one way journey"
So move along the tough waters....

When The Lights Went Out...

Surrounded by four brick walls, I could not look out, they were too tall, Watching the steam escaping the spout, I looked out the windows so small. On this chilly and gloomy night, I was amazed by the stars so bright, I realized there's always some light, It's just a matter of catching our sight. At the time, everybody just frowned, My heart was filled with stormy clouds, Seated on the chilly ground, I enjoyed, the chirping sounds. Even though I had to shout, Trying hard to chase away the stormy clouds, With a prayer requesting for a favor, To the lessons taught by nature, My head I bowed, On the gloomy night,  When the lights went out. -Debra R.

The place which once was considered home by many...

I knew a place where people called home But they were considered unconscious prisoners They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people thought was paradise But they were considered brainless slaves They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people were ready to die for And the place was ready to kill them all They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people spent their days & nights The place welcomed them with fake delight They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people wasted their personal life And was encouraged and cherished for doing so They didn't know,  They didn't see it coming I knew a place who gave many their pride And burned that pride into ashes in a blink of an eye They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place which was everything to many But they were just a replaceable resource They d

Together Let's Plead...

There used to be days, He stared at the waves, With a smile on his face, Though his heart was scraped. For understanding he craved, Hiding in a dark cave, His sorrows were caged, By the judgments raised. He had no right, to shed a tear, In the light, he lived in fear, To survive, he did not need a beer, Yes he lives, on Earth, right here. The world would say, he's care free, I see him walking, bare feet, This sunny day, on the tar street, They helped him out, the shady trees. This sorrow my friend, would fade away, Our life on Earth, is a short stay, I know you're hurt, in many ways, To the selfish world, we all are preys. Feelings have turned from gold to steel, Idle creeps in to this life, to steal, Each day that ends, is a falling leaf, It's hard, to wake up, from this bad dream, To the one above, together let's plead. -Debra R.
