When I was sure....

This poem I wrote on this Sunday evening when I was not sure......



When I was sure of winning,
I ended up losing

When I was sure of laughing,
I found myself crying

When I was sure of getting sleep,
I found surrounded by bleep

When I was sure of running ahead,
I got my track narrow and dead

When I was sure of touching sky,
I realized my wings were tied

When I was sure of seen through my eyes,
I forgot to reason 'why'

When I was sure of reaching my destination,
I got my legs broken

When I was sure of getting love,
I got my feeling shoved

When I was sure of getting supported,
I was left deserted

When I was sure of shoulder to cry on,
I was left with tears to dry on

When I was sure of holding a hand,
I got myself drowned in sand

When I was sure of walking together,
I walked alone forever

When I was sure of loving,
I got my heart bleeding

When I was sure of being in home,
I only found walls of stone

When I was sure of being myself right,
Only I got was fight

When I was sure of being enlightenment,
I found my common sense was absent

When I was sure of being reached on top,
I found my progress had stopped

When I was sure of being alive,
I reached closer to die.
