Taken for a Ride

I went there expecting an exhilarating ride
But instead, I was indeed taken for a ride
I stood in the middle of the deserted road
With wind around singing melancholic ode
All that I had earned over the years
Have vanished leaving me in tears
A storm has emerged for which I was unprepared for
It has come crashing through my heart core
A tinge of sadness and guilt has blended
My tryst with adventure has ended
I don't know where I am headed
My beautiful dreams have faded
My heart and mind are wounded
I know they will remain untreated
A terrible story has been unfolded
This is what I had always dreaded

Unbridled enthusiasm that used to keep me alive has forsook me
Relentless passion that I held in my heart has bid farewell to me
When I can't get out of this morass
I don't believe in the theory of "This too shall pass"
You say everything happens for a reason
So that I can learn a tough life lesson
When all hopes have disappeared into an oblivion
What good reason can I make out from it? I am just a moron
When my heart aches threatening to explode
This philosophy won't guarantee me a blissful abode
