The Circle Of Life Poem by Deepa Kochhar

The circle of life


The night was really dark
Louder grew the dogs bark
I just couldn’t sleep
The hurt and pain was really deep
My job, recession had taken away
To survive …must find a way
Why the hell could I not forsee
Why me god why did you do this to me
Why are u not by my side
I have no option…..but suicide
Then I saw the faces of my children
Desert them …what have they done
I cannot on them, this disaster, bring
I have to do something

I let out my cries and mourns
Ahead loomed the unpaid loans
I tossed I wept I cried aloud
Till the wee hours …the sun was out
The sun had got the light
Everything seemed so bright
My will is my way is the saying
Have to snap out of this with hard work and praying
My family support is a bliss
I just have to sail through this
As the dark night was replaced by the day
Likewise I have to find a way
Whatever happens will not for ever last
Be positive be patient it will pass
Good or bad we have to survive
This is the circle of life
