Lost

By Meghna Dash

Lost in the choices I make

Life isn’t taking me anywhere,

Snatching away my right over time

Leaving me alone in this stormy flight.

Why is this getting so hard on me

Making me walk all over thorny streets,

This cycle of endless queries

Entangling me every now and then.

I want to cry, I want to stay

Flooding away all my pain,

But the longingness residing in me

Taking away the very right over me.

The right and wrong, the good and bad

The ugliness of all dualities,

Switching off my source of light

Destroying the identity never existed.

Here, I’m in this world of knowledge

Ruling over the experience within,

Washing off all my curious wisdom

Drying away my thirst for bliss,

Yet again, I’m asked to dive

Deep down under the expectations of mind,

Ignoring all the magic in me

Fading off the sparks in me,

Leaving behind life in itself

Leaving behind the source of everything.

Yes, I’m lost and clueless,

Drifting away from me.
