The Longing to Breathe Again

By Ananya Gupta

When your heart sink deep and drown

the ocean of misery all around, 

all you can do is watch with a frown 

while getting destroyed without a sound.

Is the reverse now really possible ?

Can I save my dying soul ?

Or maybe death is now my final goal ? 

If so, then why was I born,

In this world , Oh mother !

I can't help with mourn.

In universe is there really a God ?

If yes, Oh my God! Guide me a way, 

A way to make this dark into a Better Day.

A way to free my captured spirits,

to let my soul fly freely without limits.

These sufferings becoming insufferable, 

I can't escape them somehow 

I just want to be me for now.

To look at my shadows on a sunny day, 

to laugh when I act in a funny way.

To sit beneath a big strong tree,

to ever be careless and finally be free.

Just having myself is enough for me.

As what I wanted to be, was always being  ME.
