When You Are

When you are fighting out in an emotional and tiring battlefield

And your vulnerabilities start creeping as protective shield

Just think of those poor souls who had been confined or caged    

For the sins, they have never committed but are still unfazed           

 

When your soul is bereft of much-needed love and warmth

And there is no one and nothing to resurrect your strength

Think of those who had everyone and everything around

But still decided to live a life of a recluse and never frowned

 

If your mind has blinded you in doing something bad and wrong

And your heart has befooled you into thinking that you are right

Do not let the consequences restrain you from being strong

And realize your unatoned sins without any discomfort and fright

 

Even if you are the last and lonely leaf of a dying tree

And the scorching heat of sun is striving to make you free

Do not lose your faith or be threatened by ever changing time

Standing erect till your last breath is something very sublime.
