Why?
Why does this keep happening!
Encompassed with myriads of trials
Trying to conquer ,Alas!Only to be conquered
I stand once again revitalized
Holding on to hope only to experience despair
Seriously, why does this keep happening!
Countless nights fanning the fire
A gale's opportune time to snuff out my desire
Under the veil of frightful darkness
Frustration and apprehension, apprehending my mind
Is this my fate?
Is this the gift life gave me well wrapped in a crate?
Truly! Truly!Why does this keep happening?
Am I bound to this horrid cycle?
All my toil and nothing to show
Have I drawn the lot of good luck's foe?
Should I surrender my vulnerability to this flow?
As I gaze up, I see the stars
Stars that shine despite the darkness embrace
"Oh, how tiny they are just like me." I soliloquize
Just before a sigh is released
White ethereal rays are revealed
Raising hope which was once diseased
I believed one's life is illuminated by sun light
Which had nothing to do with those lost in night
Forgetting the night's rulers
Who give light to the night's wanderers
Changing the expression on my face
Beginning the phoenix rebirth phase
Though my life is full of strife
A new hope is etched in my heart
Depicting my resolve that in the end I will rise
