Wooden Toy

Ranjana 2005 (Chennai)

Long ago lost my joy,
maybe I was just a Wooden toy.
Happiness is all what I sought,
forgetting all the barriers I fought.
Harder it became to live life,
resisting thoughts when I see a knife.
Will I be given a chance to startover?
but I believe this punishment is forever.
My life purpose never clear,
heart held my worst fear.
Wooden toys in an array
like my problems, never away.
