Graph Of Life

Bedridden in hospital 

With plastic surgery 

On my foot 

And several deformities 

On my parts,

Life debilitated me. 

To gather rays of hope 

Even from the sun, 

I was not able to open 

The doors of window. 

Watching the dull programmes 

On television, 

I spent a couple of months.

Discharged from the hospital 

And holding a faint smile, 

I returned. 

The plant accident 

Was reluctant to distance 

Me from its vision. 

Trying umpteen times 

To overcome 

The atychiphobia 

And the achluophobia, 

I gathered courage. 

Thanking God, 

For saving me 

From imminent danger, 

I gazed at my walker. 

Though blood oozed out, 

I practised walking. 

Yes, with determination, 

I left walker and started to saunter. 

Practising to move 

From bottom to top of staircase, 

I learnt the graph of life. 

My legs were feeble, 

But my mental strength 

Doubled itself, 

My shrewdness enhanced itself

My skill ameliorated itself. 

Dropping silence tears 

Of happiness 

And wearing the safety boot 

And crash helmet, 

I rode my Pulsar 150 towards 

The plant gate, 

Whispering to my failure, 

'Oh, my dearest friend, 

You are not amicable, 

Still, you taught me a lot, 

You made me triumphant, 

You made me discover the inner me.'
