LONELY FRIEND






Lonely Friend


 He approached me for help
I could offer none
He plead for companionship
I was nowhere to be found

Lonely friend
Strives to achieve
Does everything on his own
Of dejection, he never does moan

His world collapsing
His thoughts relapsing
His eyes searching for hope
But he never finds none

In the nick of time
Coupled with all sorts of pain
He has a friendly demeanour
He calls no one on his endeavours

Sad, disturbed, frustrated
Happiness is always belated
Thrown around on a whim
He picks himself and dusts down

How could anyone bear so much?
Why does life deny him any pleasure?
What could be his destiny?
Yet Another profound mutiny?

What he seeks, he will find
All the roads will unwind
The divine interventions will cease
Only when he reaches the crease

The world is a great equalizer
A wise man once told me
If what he said were true
He can strip boundaries & go through

Hard work always pays up manyfold
He has to hold tight and remain bold
His time is approaching, tremors quaking
He will be placed on a pedestal and given the world

As i said earlier, not everyone is as gifted as you're when it comes to Expressing ones' self...

Last 3 Stanza's pump the adrenaline levels a little higher.:) I must tell you this frankly, my levels don't get disturbed much often!!:)

Had to take a few sips of Water after reading this:) Nice one, chum.:)
