 Where did I lose

That childhood heart,

The little heart which knew

Happiness forever and ever.

Being a child

I could laugh uncontrollably,

Weep bitterly and be

Away from worldly worries.

But years that passed by

Put burden on my shoulders,

The fetters of relations

Did bind me hard

To the social stage!

They mocked me,teased

And laughed at me,

But I lay there

Helpless in my agony.

These hearts that gave me

Lessons on love,care and affection,

Showed me how cruel

One would ever be

On this earth.

They broke all rules

Of love and passion,

And bothered enough

To push their brethren

Into endless stink.

When I suffocated in the dip pit,

When I could no more bear the stench,

I searched for the way out,

But all around,

There seemed to be eternal darkness.

I searched here and there,

I searched everywhere.

For that single ray of light,

The ray of hope,

That came in through some vent

Perhaps far away, but

Which still seemed to exist.

I searched for the Eternal light

Which could always

Show me the way,

Which would help me

Break free from my fetters.

But my search goes in vain,

The darkness of life

Blinds my eyes.

But I still keep groping

Perhaps some day

Barriers would fall,

Sweet fragrance will spread,

And the light of joy

Will flood our lives

And even if this is an endless quest

I would still keep on searching!
