Life

On the journey of my life,
Half the way through....
I suddenly realize,
That everything i experienced,
was just an illusion.
Which kept on driving me,
driving me throughout my life.
And me ,mesmerized by it,
kept on following...without questions.

I was just living on expectations,
throughout my life,
the expectations of others....!
And in the rush of fulfilling their dreams,
I could not hear me, the individual me inside.

Everything i loved,just slipped away,
Away from my hand,like grains of sand.
And I let it go,for the fear of others.

Now,when everyone around seems to be happy,
I feel,a part of me is missing,
missing in the path of life.
And me,standing there.....
miles apart from what i was destined to be,
dejected,tired and alone !!!
