Is it the long path getting narrower?
Or my inability to gauge the former?
Shrouded in vagueness of the path taken.
Wrapped in fog, vision unclear, faken.
Whims and fancies of a smoky mind,
Unaware of what’s taking at the hind.
Where I started? There! With the majority,
Walked to the crossroads, with my fraternity,
Separate in paths, now I’m all alone,
Walking endlessly in the dark, unknown.
Specks of little light take in part,
Anyhow limbs tiring, with dying heart.
Where I’ll end? To the dead end of this path,
I know not clearly in my lasting faith.
But wherever I do stop, with my rot,
Hope to find a rainbow, at the spot…..

Rainbow at the end gives a false hope.

It’s like we walk for so long and then at the end the rainbow rises. With my mindset right now it doesn’t bring significant happiness, I would agree with you. I just don’t know what’s happening, these hopeless times. But ya a little positivity that it just brings along.

I also don’t what’s happening but, I take one day at a time.
Have you tried something for this? May be talking with someone or trying to pour your heart out. Try something. Try anything. Try whatever helps you.

Yes, I’m just tired of this way of life. I feel dead. I want everything to get back to normal. That’s all.
Thanks for that conversation Harsh.

Good morning! It’s been affecting a lot of people. You are not alone. And there’s still time before things get back to normal. Until then adjusting is something that we could do. In such times, we need to be a little flexible and try to adjust, I reckon.
