I wish…

Off late, life’s just been long,

It seems nothing but a lost song

On the verge of this transition,

Life seems nothing but a meaningless expedition.

I have stopped waiting for tomorrow to come,

In this slow journey, I have gained little and lost some.

Started many things, but they were never finished,

As every time I saw my efforts get diminished.

I can no longer be true to myself,

As I keep stacking my dreams on a hidden shelf.

Looking at the rain drops, my heart used to feel elated,

But it’s an experience with which I am long jaded.

Still, deep down I know,

The seeds of dream I sow, will someday grow.

Someday, some time down the lane,

My time will come and I will be jubilant again.

I will be brimming with hope and confidence; I will be excited and childish,

For today and for now, that's what I miss and that’s all I wish.
