I Lost My Way...

By Sanjay G. Singh

Climbed to the top of the building

in search of a window.

On its way to the wing,

I fought a bird during an intro;

survived and heavily breathed

to reach a bit high to the ceiling

and put a cockroach to its death.

Took some rest until it felt appealing;

started my marathon again

after an interval to see the herd of ants,

amidst the pinching rain.

They were fast even in the slippery terrain,

I used my brain,

and thwarted their unity dance

with a push of a giant!

Ate few and crushed many with my stance

to finally reach the climax.

The silent window was safe

and full of peace.

Suddenly; a sense of rift

struck my peace as I saw a flying crow

marching towards my isle.

I was too slow;

however I was the last one to smile

into the dark room with no one's presence.

It was indeed very much what I wanted in life.

I closed my eyes and slept for a while;

a sudden loud noise awakened my senses

to move and show up in front of the bigger.

He was a human!

I tried my best to not trigger.

He saw me however and looked for a solution

to kill and pierce my irritating figure!

I moved first in the right,

then towards the tube-light,

the human took a broom in his hand

to land

few blind punches during the fight.

To escape,

I climbed the green curtains,

bumped into a shirt's buttons,

stuck in the corner.

From the higher land,

I kept saying:

I was going to vanish,

but nothing did he listen and kept bashing

with all his force.

Few hit my tail,

and some on my leg and face.

In the middle of all of that,

I kept thinking of the antly rail

that is free to move anywhere in his house.

I lost my way,

I was going to go out anyway.

But the broom finally crushed me,

and I fell down with my tail cropped.

Fearing that i will rise again,

he hit me multiple more times

until I was in pieces.

Whom do I say now,

That I lost my way and all I wanted was some Peace that day.
