Everynight Poem by Pushyami Vemulapalli

Everynight I go to bed
wondering what would
be there in store for me tomorrow..

It might be a pleasant surprise,
A bitter truth,
A painful lie,
Or a memorable experience..

I might cry again
Lost in the inexplicable ways of the world
Or my lips might curve into a smile
Because of an unexpected gift

I might find the love hidden deep inside me,
The love waiting in my dreams,
And the laughter
To wipe away the pain in my heart..

I might get caught in emotions
With no strength left to fight
Or I might just get carried away
In another game of life..

And so I want to hold
This moment tight
And not let it go...
Which has sweet memories
Of the past,
Innocence of mine,
Caring friends and
Love of all...

I am afraid to face reality sometimes
I just want to remain in this moment of happiness
Because this is the only thing that is certain
I do not want to release
Myself from this trap
Of momentary peace and certainty
