I woke up in complete darkness,
I opened my eyes to see a spark.
The spark turned into my own,
The own’s introduced me to tons.
I made my friends,
To be with me till the very end.
I went to learn, speak and write,
Until one day, I saw a fight.
I learnt that the big dominates over the small,
I taught the big how small things are about their fall.
I learnt and taught with many more,
Until one day, I left the shore.
Life was so different and hard,
My own wounded me with a sharp shard.
Responsibilities bent my back,
Relaxation was what I lacked.
I spent more time and made my own new world,
Thinking I might be bold.
My new world made me more to work,
I was like a food on the fork.
I grew older,
With no one to hold my shoulder.
I thought of the very shore I had left,
Closing my eyes forever, I slept.
