Why is this journey so long?
Am I wise enough to know — what’s right or wrong?
All the decisions taken and people around —
Is that a reward for everything done right and a place where I belong,
Or is that a curse for everything gone wrong —
And, a cosmic design — that’s making me strong.

In this matrix of life,
My emotions have been dusted along,
But my heart still wanders like a leaf in the breeze,
Seeking answers, searching for a home, a place of ease.

Why does this path of love still seem unknown?
I tread this over and over, but have outgrown,
Despite having emotions and desires full-blown,
Yet again, I stand at the crossroad — feeling all alone.

Am I destined to only give love, never to get?
I pour my heart out, with no reprieve yet,
I wonder if I’m repaying all my past debts,
For I fear returning back, to this intricate worldly net.

On this planet with millions wander and roam,
I feel exasperated, searching for a place to call home,
Somedays the void kills me from inside,
In this vast world, where do I go and confide?

Someday, I wish the lord will be kind,
My wishes will be granted and stars aligned,
A guiding light will show me the way,
To a place where my heart can forever stay,
Where I will be no longer lost and no longer alone,
In a beating heart — I will find love and call that my home ❤❤❤

~A New Unknown~
