The Reason
The Reason
YO!
Before I begin I have to say sorry
But I really do need to share this sad story
A story of a man who had all the glory
But by his own hand turned it to shame, fear and worry
.
A story of a man who was always smart
Strong like a gun and fast as a dart
A man who had the advg of the headstart
Who acted the part
But now
he’s breaking apart
He had the respect and envy of his peers
He could sleep @ night w/out fears
He was one of the best
At least better than the rest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking back now he was living the dream
AUGH! If only I can go back he would scream
What more than I had can I ask?
Now just being alive is a very hard task
He used to be used to being 1st
Now he’s a failure, a nobody, like a bubble that burst
He’s now feeling very weak
He’s suffering constant fatigue
Its on his heart a very heavy weight
But alas! It is too late
He senses nothing now from ppl but sheer hate
Where are the days where he couldn’t get enough
Of love
And now
Wow
His phone won’t even ring
He doesn’t remember any recent compliment or anything
If only sooner
he knew
What his actions will lead to
Then those actions he would not do
He tells me and you
He even now has no comfort zone
Not even when he’s @ home
And Especially when he’s alone
He has no mission
He lost his vision
Nowadays he’s not functioning
Not thinking
And only feels he is sinking
And it’s rlly stinking
For many hours, at his ceiling, he would stare
And the time passes by, but he doesn’t care
There’s actually nothing to see up there
But his mind asks what? how? and where?
And sometimes his mind blocks and it would be an empty stare
But one thing’s for certain He stopped to care
He doenst care
He doenst care
What he wear
He doesn’t care
For his messy hair
And after being the smartest Buddy
He now doesn’t even care to study
Nothing to him now Matter
He’s eating junk and becoming fatter
And day by day feeling sadder
Is this depression?
Is this consequence of a wrong action?
Or Is it a combination of the former and the latter?
He now would contemplate
And wish he con’td straight
He wishes to return to the exact unknown date
Where it all started falling apart
And set things straight
And not wait
Until he reaches the level he is in now, which he sincerely hate
He now thinks for so long
Where did he go wrong
And after thinking he was nicely strong
Now, he’s very frail
& believe me, he IS pail
The thought that, all he ever did was in vain
Is causing him tremendous agony & pain
In fact, His current streak
Is feeling scared and weak
7 days a week.
He wants to act mad and go door to door
And tell all people: I’ve hit rock bottom and even failed more
Wait!
Now all his problems crashed to his mind and weighed
Now he is so lonely and he is soo afraid
all the gd memories are beginning to fade
he thinks in haste
his life seems a waste
after the happiness and success were erased
he remembers no pleasure
but the recent heavy pressure
that he cannot measure
If life’s a race,
He tells me
Then I’m certainly standin in my place
He looks at me
Blows a heavy sigh and afterwards..
He Says: I’m even movin’ backwards
oh! He suddenly remembers That quote on quote friend
that so called pal who told him that all rules should be bend
he remembers how that dude caused all his moral to fly with the wind
and how he led him to an emptiness, with no purpose or cause to defend
that so called friend
caused our man nothing
but staying up late
and empty wallet
and what do you call it?
Having fun you call it?
Well, our man would beg to differ
He remembers with a shiver
Every wrongdoing he ever did
And begins to cry like he suddenly got hit
But it is way deeper
And the pain is much steeper
It is in reality
Breaking his mentality
Testing his sanity
He is now unbalanced and turning
As he try to dry
The falling tears that are burning
If those tears had a cleansing effect
Then it would be perfect
But rather they burn like fire
As the number of memories go higher
He tells me … of the voice
In his head.. makin’ noise
Tellin him… he’s got no choice
But to quit and stop trying
He tells me crying
That he succumbed to slowly dying
Dying inside
Which he hide
On the outside
Hides that with the fakest of smiles
But it doesn’t matter, cuz it’s all lies.
He remembers how his daydreams were so vivid
That he expected to achieve it and live it
within maximum 5 years
He remembers in tears
He remembers the old days
The previous phase
Where he was constantly motivated
And now he can hardly get out of his bed
With that said
And with the memories filling up his head
Its turning him crazy
Everything seems hazy
He feels much more than despair
WHAT I DID TO MYSELF IS NOT FAIR
He’s full of guilt and regret
&His face suddenly turns red
And he stood and felt much dread
and Suddnly moved to take a look at the mirror ahead
take a look at the mirror ahead?
Why did he do that for?
yo!
He wanted to know
How he looked in his all time low
It’s an act of self pity
But unfortunately
It just increased his depression
As he begins to mutter and crazily mention
where is my mansion
where is my mansion
the mansion I promised myself to earn
ooh! His tears now literally burn
yo, suddenly
He stares at my eyes and asks me surprisingly calmly
Where are my friends? where’s the support of my family?
where’s my will, my passion, my drive?
That were makin’ me alive
Where is my strive?
Where’s my wife
Where is my life?
He misses the sense
Of confidence
& happiness
That he didn’t appreciate at the time
Which he says is a true crime
Now his fears are so dense
Hence
Now he is livin a life of doubt, hesitation and uncertainty
Really, Wat a pity!
In short, he used to be truly happy
But currently
he feels messed up & bad
And simply,
he is really, really sad
At the end at the very last
After all his memories were pouring so fast
After hardly trying to analyze
And synthesize
And revise
suddenly a shout
He let out
I figured it out!!
I figured it out!!
HE finally found it!
This must be it!
He is sure more than he ever was
That the answer he has
Is the reason
for his decline
It’s so evident, it doesn’t need a sign
The reason why he changed from living a happy full life
Until he is now suffering to the extent of thinking of killing himself with the knife
And Our man was @ least wise
To realize
that he had a chance to again rise
If he can fix the reason of his fall
And that’s not impossible at all
After now knowing that
The reason
Of his pain
is that he turned away
from The source of all the good he ever had
That made him a happy, successful lad
And the source from which he drew
The power
Now he knew
I DESERVE ALL THIS & MORE
for
I purposely
Turned away
And disobeid
The One and Only
All powerful
All mighty
GOD
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
