The Voyage Of Life

Till the last drop of wax melts,

I would know how it feels,

To give light to others by sacrificing their dreams,

while the rest get the taste of sweet cream,

I go on with my race,

Sitting on the chair of pains,

I remember those stress free days,

Playing carroms and Monopoly,

As if that was my profession,

Doing nothing but enjoying the weather,

Something I would do throughout my life,

With no homework only play,

No exams, no mugging,

Only eat,sleep and run whole day,

Playing catch and hide n seek,

But now I realize the time has drifted away,

The weather is turning to something else,

A storm of problems and obstacles,

Being the captain, I need to brave these waves,

Proving Darwin's theory,

I continue my voyage of life,

On these treacherous waves,

Don't know where this path will lead,

But hoping for the best,

Conquering all the miseries and surviving,

To show others what I am capable of,

Waiting for that day,

When I reach the isle of happiness,

I can again relieve my past,

But for now I have to learn,

Not afraid to lose,

to come up with a plan,

on how to win this race of life.
