By yourself



                                BY YOURSELF

In this lonely dessert i walk by myself,
Trying so hard and screaming for help.
Wandering cluelessly hoping to see someone
Popping my eyes out still can see no one.

Wondering where they all are now when I'm unwell,
I crossed several such desserts when they needed help.
Realising them and their vit,
Tired of endless struggle i loose hope and sit.

The tired thirsty man hopes for no good
Just a bottle of water and a cup,
He lifts his head to lighten up his mood.
He sees the bright stars gazing at him,
Endlessly praising, and cheering for him.

Without them the journey would have been dark,
But they continue burning to show him the right path.
It's been hours and now it's time for sun to rise,
It's not night anymore realises the man
As the stars tends to hide.

realises he's still thirsty,
But now he doesn't expect anyone to give him bottle of water and cup.
He smile,Stands slowly and mummers
" It's me who's gonna lift me up
It's me who's gonna lift me up".


-Shubham kukreja
