SLAVE

The shards of my dreams have fallen apart,

I have lost everything and am back at the start,

cause the world is cruel, a deep dark cave,

bound by its ways, I had became a slave.


A slave who always did what was told,

A slave who thought he had an image to uphold,

A slave who thought he was loved by all,

but little did I know about the world, cold.



I darted through the light, shunning the whispers of dark,

but found the rough world on me, leaving its mark,

as soon as I stopped adhering its ways,

It showed me its ruthless and cruel displays.



And hence, I was back at square one,

but this time I knew the ways of the world,

whenever it tried to push me down again,

I evaded its tricks whenever it swirled.



Thus, the lesson that I learnt from life,

Is that you may fall, but you can survive,

if you ignore its hardships away,

and live to the fullest each passing day.
