Somewhere, Someday, Somehow (Recommended) Poem by Ridah Ellahi

Bolted shut the last door.
The door of hope,
The door of happiness.
The door that is there no more.

Back in a lonely cage.
Trapping inside all my rage.
Annihilated happiness.
Back in this nothingness.

The only hand that I want,
Is now slipping away.
I kneel on the ground,
And raise my hands to pray.

I ask God,
What have I done to incur His wrath?
Do I really deserve this?
I beg for my happiness to come back.

Insubstantiality of happiness,
Has made me vehement.
Desolation filling me from the inside.
Pain inflicted by happiness, waters my eyes.

Happiness seemed beautiful.
It offered a helping hand.
Lamentation filling me from within,
Never could have imagined it would be this bad.

The fire within me,
Breeds with every breath I take.
Anguish, malaise, discontent,
All reality, not fake.

How could I have thought,
I could put this lonely world behind?
Can’t imagine I fell into the trap.
The thought never crossed my mind.

Forlorn, despair, plague,
All laughing at me now.
But I know I will get out of this,
Somewhere, someday, somehow.
