Vicious Truth!

I know change is inevitable

Still I miss the olden times,

When every song had my lyrics

And smiles clinked wind chimes.

Life then belonged to me

And to those who matter the most.

Where my world was that dream,

often where I wandered lost.

I could argue at disapprovals,

I could wrestle with all my might.

Strangely it was never the ego,

Against which I raised the fight.

Tears refused to roll down

except when happiness caused them.

Life was one fairy tale.

Hell! Why dint I realise it then?

The phase is lived...

That time’s gone.

Moonless night is here,

without signs of dawn.

It is not easy to release the clasp,

It is not easy to let go.

In a limitless pool of distress and vain,

I seem to just blindly row.

No matter how much ever we deny,

But it is sensible and wise,

To know the ironical truth that says -

Life is nothing but a Compromise!
