Alive

A Poem


Alive to face
Another day,
To go through
The sufferings
And sorrow
To reach a 
Moment of bliss.


Alive to face
Another night,
In sleep atleast
Seeking bliss,
But woken up
By recurring
Nightmares.


Alive to see
This time
Atleast whether
Luck meets
Opportunity,
But they both
Drifted far-far
Away.


Alive to see
If dreams do
Come true,
But like the
Magician's hares
They too vanished
Just like that!


Alive to seek
Hope in despair,
But despair
Had drowned
Hope already.


Alive to fall
In love once
again,
But past bitter
Memories of love
resurfaced
Once again.


Blessed are
Those who are
No more,
While being
Alive is a curse,
To go through
The sufferings
And sorrows
Endlessly
Again and again.
