Oh Life! My Life!

By Sahil Baxi

Here I tried And there again I failed once more Like every time A little piece fell Off the puzzle, me. And once again cried I, in my despair Aimless, I stand And useless I feel On infinite paths To infinity

Sadness refuses To leave my side And happiness Seems to hate me Carry on, I must For there is no other way Endure, I must For lack of options The chances seem dim But hope, I retain To a better future To a better life Yet, I fail To this day. Yet, I cry With a wry smile. I endure my fate- Resolutely- While I crumble inside.
