Lost And Forlorn Poem by Ajay Shaan

Stranded in the middle of nowhere,
flaunt myself I didn't dare..
Lost in the world of mine..
For me no one had their time..


Alone in the dark was I trapped,
walls of frustration closing in on me..
An aura of darkness eclipsing my path,
like an angry swarm of bumble bees..


Waiting for the final breath,
something told me not to quit..
Hope had sneaked in with all its stealth,
penetrating the blanket of black spit..
It came upon me that if I will, I will..


The reinforcement on my side,
ceased the agitated waters within..
To darkness and death I didn't abide,
but took wings and smashed through the ceiling..


Rising like a phoenix out of the ashes,
looking down upon all that I went through..
With my despair left behind like faeces,
realizing life may at times be blue..


Downthrusted by the cold air,
and the inevitable pull of gravity..
There was not a thought to spare,
or give a damn about the world's vanity..


It occurred to me as time went by,
who are they to hurt my pride? !
With none to convince other than my conscience,
I'll make the most of myself all my life..
