Looking for Greif

Anurag 2002 (Gondia)



At Rock bottom, gathering these pieces of myself
Not sure which ones to leave behind
Lost in every way to the will of the supposed ‘Universe’
Yet all I ask for is nothing to come easy
Yet all I ask for is taller walls to fall at the bottom of
I’ve lost to the world and to myself, and yet
Yet all I ask for is greater losses, but good music

About this poem

Observing yet another Irony of Life and Human Interpretation of things, how I always feel the need to be working towards failure and yet feel satisfied at the end of the process.
