When Life Is At Low..... Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Life is so hectic some days
there is so much mental strain
forget alone the physical pain
so much so in life that I drain
Its never complete
Running behind targets and people,
bosses and money and many more
getting at end nothing in peace
but agony not able to meet
my self or family needs
the dreams and fantasies with greed
Justice is a word I am not able to get
in any field of activity I am in
I really doubt where I am heading too
where will I end up to bid adieu
sometimes I feel so successful
somethings makes it so distressful
Sometimes too blank to ignore
Like some days when life is at its low
Close your eyes, and stay just calm
for another day, and another dawn!
