In Life What Did I Gain? Poem by Aarzoo Mehek

In Life What Did I Gain?

Rating: 5.0


No words of comfort could erase my pain
The hurts which are making me insane
I'am building a wall against my heart
No sugar coated words can coax me again
Now nothing can penetrate my bruised heart
As I'am drifting away from relationships wrath
Travelling into an unknown destination
I'am finding my strength in seclusion
As I lose myself in the whirlpool of sorrow
My heart cries as if there is no tomorrow
As my tired feet wanders in the jungle of pain
Questioning myself, In life what did I gain?

Many times, in many lives it is wondered if it was worth it, and what was gained

when hurt and sad we seek answers. Some time there is none but to express and accept pain. Poetry lets us do it.

We must accept joys, sorrows and everything in life sans calculating what did I gain at the end of the day. This poem has a lot of poetic depth... appreciated.

I sense the great pain you experience! The inner agony finds such poignant expression in this poem! At times we have to drink the cup of sorrow, but believe that God is on our side and He will help you find a way out! Who can say after this bout of sorrow, there will not flow a silvery stream of joy! Great write!

SO is the life, we know not and keep wondering where we went wrong and at times we and those close to us vouch for us saying You did nothing wrong yet God knows the best what He wants you to learn, Like too much sweet fruit invites insects/decay. Take everything in stride without losing your heart, there is a light at the end of every tunnel. A thought provoking poem, Keep writing and flushing your sorrow, We all care for our intelligent and matured poetess, Aarzoo.
