Where am I?

There are times when we are all confused and lost. Sometimes, broken and trying to figure out how far we have progressed and the barriers that hold us back. Our lives begin to spiralize in our head and affects our mood. We may sometimes feel incomplete and feel like a failure. We remember those times when we felt we will succeed easily but corruption creeps in and destroys. We may also lose focus in life. But one thing is sure, we will find ourselves.

Where am I?

Filled with ecstasy and hope.
Filled with dreams and beliefs.
Walking into the manifestation of them
I lose these gifts
In a place unknown to me.
Where am I?

Assured Mama and Papa
Of returned pride.
I strived to fulfil these promise
Now misplaced they are.
Confused and lost am I.
Still I ask rhetorically,
Where am I?

Blood, Sweat and Tears I shed from this skin of mine
Just to make both ends meet.
My efforts become water turned into a basket. 
I am cornered to a place of dejection.
Please, Where am I?

Corruption creeps in silently,
Eats my dreams like a cankerworm,
Leaves me bare,
In a state of despair.
Confusion becomes my soulmate.
Lost am I.
Where am I?

Striving still to find me.
Searching for a path to survive.
Wit beckons me.
Strength draws me.
A path I see.
A gleam of hope I see.

Now I am walking out of the unknown.
With Pride and Confidence.
Worries Disappear.
Fear Elapses.
For the question 'Where am I?'
Will become a whisper to my ear.

Friendly Pain

Hey guys, I have been a lot busy lately. Trying to pick up unturned stones. But I surely didn't forget you🤗. Well, during this period, I kept to myself but was able to scribble down this poem.
You know when you feel all alone around people but you feel invisible. Well, at that moment it looks like the only friend you have is Pain. Let's picture Pain as a person and have a chat. Read on...

Friendly Pain

Pain, you are always there
Even when no one heard.
Though you are not evident,
I'm victimized by you.

Forced smile tends to veil you
But you are not bothered
Because you know you've got a home
Where no one sees.

I embrace you as a companion,
A companion that spices my loneliness.
This loneliness gets bored
But as you will have your way,
You cheer it up with heavy tears.


My heart tries to push you away,
My mind refuses.
It loves your presence,
And therefore keeps you.

I try, I try.
I try to tell you 'It's enough'
Yet you burden me heavily.
I appreciate it.

I brought you in.
Now it's difficult to send you away
Because I need you
When I am ignored...
