Not like dead

Tuesday,20th November 2018

 

I go ahead

with messages unread

not like dead

but like the straight thread

 

Life had been cruel

and did not go well

with what I had planned

but thinned the hope

 

was it my bad luck?

the thought never struck

but I explored it often

with no hopes shown

 

I am not deterred

even if it is not altered

I shall go on probing

but never resort to sobbing

 

I am yet not defeated

but elated

at the sense of being of self-dependent

and cruising ahead with determination at present
