It was like quicksand,
The more I tried to get out,
The deeper I sank.
What had gotten me here in the first place?
I thought to myself.
Was it the sympathetic smiles? Or my Utopian expectations?
It happened when an unexpected catastrophe dawned upon us.
Not knowing where to go from there,
Clueless and feeble, I accepted life’s challenge.
What I didn’t know,
Was that this challenge would never end.
In times of solitude, I sought a friend.
One who would ease the pain,
And walk me through this bewildering maze.
And friend after friend,
I was lucky enough to form my own little world.
They held my hand and helped me solve the mysteries of life.
And in a matter of days,
They became my perfect little family.
But little did I know,
That nothing lasts forever,
I held on to them like precious gems,
Only to find out,
They had plans of their own.
They were all destined to achieve their great things;
Unfortunately, i found myself missing,
From their equation of greatness.
And it hit me.
It hit me like a time bomb.
What had I done?
Why had I gotten myself sucked into this whirlpool?
Out of which, it was hard to get out.
This addiction, this belief, this trust, this reliance?
It was no less than a quicksand.
The more I tried to get out, the deeper I sank.
And I asked God,
“Why do you give me happiness,
When you intend to
take it away eventually?”
“Why does this life revolve around the expense of losing my
loved ones?”
Is it fair really?
To be left alone to combat the evils of this world?
But it was too late for questions,
As the quicksand had already swallowed me deep within,
Deep within where there was no escape.
