When you Know, You are not Alone!!

It was a lonely night
With absolutely no light
There was tenderness in the wind
And thunderous thoughts racing through my mind

Walking down to the abyss of the unknown
I saw a faint light...
I started walking towards the light...
Which was getting dimmer by the mile


I thought of running...
but something told me that it will all be wasted
But you cant know if its good...
Till the time...its not tasted


So should i run to the light
or should i wait for the night...
My mind wrestled
Perplexed thoughts entwined...


I just ran(not knowing why)
to the light..as if running for Life
I never knew i so wanted things to change
I hate the way its been all these days


Wasted Years...Is it fair?
Living in the shadows of a barless prison
Waiting for a change of season
Will i ever reach the light??

Shutting thoughts out of my mind
Still running to the light
Frisky me! Now disillusioned and tired
Trying to find a way out of the anguished mire

Now that the light is near..
there is not a mile that i can bear..
panting heavily...and my lips parched
The distance seemed perpetual

I stopped to catch my breath
and turned around to look
at all the distance i had left behind
Amazed i stood...unable to move..
Seeing all those who were running behind..

Oh Lord! again i was one in the herd...
Its enough...i just dont want to run!!!

This is like the best example of 'follow-the-rest-culture' thing which seems ideal/easy to some people..a lot of of which can be seen in our own monetarily flourishing society..where the concept of free thinking is getting extinct!
Stereotypical'ish'ness seems the easy way out,but in course people tend to forget what they really wanted!
:D

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation!
