Caught

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(3 votes)



  Caught in between contradictions
that make up my obscure life;
ever-hunting for the The Truth
while wielding a liar's knife.

Caught in between the freedom
of being witness to The Light
and still being held captive
by my self-created night.

Caught in between my humanity
and the hope of what I am to be;
warring factions of conformity
to the earthly and the heavenly.

Caught deep within my own void
which will never be replete;
unless yielded to The One
who is faithful to complete.

Roshni D'Souza

Yes you are right Roshni...we always seem to be caught between the devil and the deep sea to use a well worn cliche...very nice introspective piece..
