Life was always with me, within me...

Sometimes I feel all hope is lost.

Clouds of gloom surround me.

It’s all dull and dreary.

The feelings have no meaning.

The words make no sense.

Everything seems so hollow,

in this darkness so dense.

I see nothing,

but a road,

A road to nowhere.

It’s as if,

Everything has come to an end;

even before it all started.

It’s more than what I can suffer

And no longer can I pretend.

All hope is lost, all hope is lost.

Life refuses to flow,

Everything has come to a standstill,

The streams appear to be stagnant,

And nothing is going according to my will.

I feel trapped in this world of illusions,

entangled in this web of shadows;

Where the unreal appears to be real.

What am I supposed to do now ?

Darkness surrounds me.

My belief is shattered.

In a sudden,

Emerges a spark !

from this darkness so dark,

Illuminating me,

with its brightness

Its light so dazzling

It surprises me!

And realization dawns (I smile)

The light came from, within me,

The meaning were always with me,

The road always led to my destination,

The end was always the beginning (of new things)

All hope was lost only to be found within me,

Life was stagnant only to be started off with a new flow,

Illusions were there only to be waded away by me,

Questions were left unanswered only to be answered by me.

 And all this remained a mystery, only to be solved by me.

The spark emerges again,

This time spreading its light

Illuminating every thought,

And I see light within me,

Around me,

All hope has been found.

‘Cuz life was always with me,

Within me.
