The dark shades


Time pass so fast, I wonder what was my past

Wish could sit and recall, But memory just seem lost

Some moments here and there pop up, which make me, go deeper

Some voice somewhere calls me loud, when I turn to look none I found

I close my eyes wishing to see more, as I slowly open my memory's doors

One after another events started to run, watching initially the rerun was so much fun

Then came that shadow..., everything seems now blur and hazy

I fear this dark feeling, my heart starts pounding

I want to get out of it, but couldn’t find where to run

The sweat moving drop by drop, from my neck on the spinal chord

Wishing this to be dream, I rub my eyes to get a clear scene

But something heavy, something dry, I am choking, want to cry

Don’t know what has gone, but I feel terribly alone

Like a child lost in the crowd, I wait for my mum to hold me tight

But find myself in the middle of the road, with dark woods and scary voices both

When for help I shout, comes another voice from around

I think it’s the helping hand, I run towards it, but in fire I land

The ambers all so red, with thirst I am already dead

I cry like a baby, hoping someone hear it and sends my mummy

But all efforts go in vain; I keep lying in this intolerable pain

Every voice scares me more; I want to run away but couldn’t find the door

Wish the lightening hits right, falls on me and makes me light

My head becomes heavy with some load, Lips start moving in prayers for the lord

Some tears fall but then the eyes are dry, my heart is bleeding n helplessly I lie

The fire start rising, burning, my body part by part fuming

I shout I cry I beg, But monsters come to take

They close me in a cave so dark; I can hear the hounds bark

The burn getting sore, my energy going lower and lower

My breath I can no more feel, this is something I no more can deal

Waiting for the last breath to come, wishing someone to shoot me with a gun

I can’t feel my body and my head is in pain, I wish I open my eyes and find myself in happy rains

But when I open my eyes everything is blur, coming in the past m stuck in lurch

When pleasant sounds come and go, the monsters put me in hot water low

I wish they come and set me free, I wish they come…..

Hope is fading away with every second, Happiness I can no more pretend

I can see no path no way; there is no sun no bright ray

I try to walk but my legs are limp, I crawl but my breath start to sink

People I love flash in front of me, my sister my brother with them I want to be

My eyes have dried they have no tears, Heart is feelingsless with only fears

I hold a hand; I think that will take me out, and then I hear another shout……………………..
