Back on track

by Shah   Feb 19, 2021


As the alarm rings in the early morning
Dark outside coz the sun isn't shining

Couple hours of sleep is enough
Hours of sadness, life is rough

Drag my body to move ahead
And take some coffee with bread

Enough fuel for the whole day
The same routine again today

Working like a horse to finish the work
Otherwise we'll need to stay and overwork

Feet aching from running all day
At the end they are made from clay

Panting as I run from place to place
Like I am participating in a horse race

Choking inside this mask in my own breath
Corona is after us all and can bring death

Faking smile sometimes to a passerby
Distance we keep and not come nearby

Who knows how another is feeling inside
And how many times someone has died

Mind is grinding on outdated memories
A pain for which there are no remedies

A void which is unlikely to be filled
And many wishes will stay unfulfilled

Wounds are still open and scars visible
Once happy soul now feels so miserable

If I don't move myself then time will drag
A light body now heavy like a sandbag

Friends giving wise advice not to worry
Be strong and don't let your mind go blurry

Let it be there and don't look back
Sort your stuff and get back on track
