The world On The Other Side of The Window

There are a few thoughts that come across my mind every time I travel, be it a bus and an airplane or a car...but somehow this trip made me think of the world that is out there the ones we don't see as we stay coiled in a safe and protected environment having no reason to think about it anyway...

Just around 5,

so full of life,

I wonder where that went-

As I see just a reflection in front of my eyes,

The soft woolen fabric embraces me,

As tears of loneliness flow from under,

The feeling of exertion and pain comes carrying some regrets,

The feeling of being emotionally drained never leaves me somewhat like my shadow,

I lie wrapped in the soft wool at night,

Counting the days until I feel free and happy like that,

I wonder when that shall come,

The feeling of having lost things that made me smile still lingers at the back of my head,

I wonder when that will return,

The thought of wanting to give up creeps in me at every hour,

Hoping it leaves me every day, I’d end up feeling the same.

The feeling of being burnt out is embedded in me, which never seems to fade

Yet I tried again, but that effort also seemed to fade.
