Poem - The Fight's on

The Fight's on - Anup R

In a crowd and yet all alone
He stands still
He's got nowhere to go
He often wishes he had a heart of stone
Coz' he'd not have all these feelings
that lay hidden .... that he dare not show

He's spent the night wide awake
Thinking about everything that's at stake
And though life seems to be one big mistake
He still goes around carrying a smile that's fake

Yes he breathes.... but he's not alive
Yes he hurts.... but he doesn't cry
Yes he bleeds.... but he refuses to die
His wings are clipped.... but his spirit still flies high

So he gathers all of his might
He puts on his armor and rushes back into the fight
From dawn to dusk and all through the night
He strives for what be believes is right

He's still praying....
for the revealing....
of the one for whom he's been waiting
for a lifetime of belonging

----
This poem may not make sense to most. But, it does to me.... :)

Basically, the guy feels lonely and is searching/praying for his soulmate... the one who'll complete him... who'll complement him...who'll love him for who he is... with the same intensity with which he loves her... (the rest will be covered in an upcoming article on marriages that I promised a few buddies.... I'm still working on it... I'm still gathering my thoughts on it... and hopefully you should see it some time the coming week....)

Ciao!

Very well written Anup!

**Yes he breathes.... but he's not alive
Yes he hurts.... but he doesn't cry
Yes he bleeds.... but he refuses to die
His wings are clipped.... but his spirit still flies high


I loved that bit.

However if u r relating this bit to a guy who hasnt found his soul mate, it cant be that bad mate :) c'mon most guys who find their soul mates would say this bit after the wedding lol!

Found an article that dealt with loneliness and aloneness recently ....
we all need a support system to live in a city away from home or our friends ....

true very very true ....

@DEGal
Thanks 4 ur encouragement... I need all that I can get :)

@Ash
Absolutely... I agree with u totally... as for the support system... I guess we bloggers are one such support system ... we open up our lives to each other... and as all are in the same boat... we naturally empathise with each other....

isuppose i have you to thank. for a long time now i have been reeling with the implications of going public with life on a weblog- and have not been too happy with it. i've decided to go back to my blogger account...guess change is all for the good eh? BTW i did read you comment on the other blog- mmm..messed up, well welcome to the club...i guess i'm pretty messed up as well.

A special thanks to Amu, for the cool chat I had with her on her blog... and to Keshi... for being the sweet meanie that she is... :) U gals bring out the best in me... :)
