The thought that keeps haunting often is “ Where did I go wrong?” It is often too late that we realize we have gone wrong somewhere on our path to success and we are usually at a loss thinking how to rectify them…This poem tries to convey the thought process and feelings that run through the mind when you are faced with reality harshly and you sit back and think about the path you traveled.. This poem is specially dedicated to all who tried their best and felt that everything went for a toss in life after all the hard work and dedication that was poured into it although I am sure we have asked ourselves this question at least once in our lives.
It is too silent and eerily calm this night
Thinking about the last day's horrible fight
When my dear ones forgot to understand
Don't know when they really changed their stand
I can't remember where I actually went wrong
I thought I was just standing so mighty and strong
Basically drained out all the energy I ever had
Have I been so ignorant and really bad?
Were my ways worthy of being questioned?
Am I being back stabbed by people I trusted?
Is it just my ways that are being haunted?
Or is it a revenge by those I mistakenly taunted?
Help me find the right path in the wilderness
Am feeling exhausted by this calmness
Wish someone explained when I was lost
Now I find it hard to bear the heavy cost
Why am I being thrown away in the dark
Instead of spending time with family in a park
Grant me a wish to go back in time
To erase and remove my heinous crime
So that I stay happy even if not successful
Stay with my family that is beautiful
Bring out a better tomorrow with no regrets
Taking into account everyone's interests
If not my wish at least a chance can I get?
To rectify the errors so that others may forget
My mistakes and the pain that I went through..
No matter what are past was and whatever be the reasons let us not regret our actions but be prepared for the reactions and rectify ourselves for better days that await us. Let us not cry and feel dejected but remember that time heals everything.
Be positive and stay happy..
