A memoir from the hospital

An ocean full of pain

a world complete with loneliness

a mind full of thoughts

a heart full of sorrow
but my spirit is what is still alive

and I am not going to let that die

let people who sympathise, sympathise with me

let people who don’t care, don’t care about me

let people who hate me, hate me even more

let people who care for me be blessed with happiness

let people who love me love me even more

it is their love which is going to sail me through this crazy and rotten world

please stand by me and hold me, I might not be able to stand on my own

so give me enough strength to face this wind which is trying to blow me away

I don’t want to perish .. I want to fight

I am not a coward

I’ll take all the blows in my face

you cant let them destroy me

just embrace me and hold me tight

let this storm fade away

let the sun set in after this storm has faded

let all the dust settle down

let there be peace and calm

give me some time to regain my consciousness,

regain my strength

you just need to keep holding on to me till then

I know the sun is going to be brighter

and I am going to extract love from each ray

but let go off me now

let me stand up now

don’t show concern for me

this pain is going to go away with the wind and

there is going to be bliss

this sorrow is going to get out of my system

and happiness is going to come in

loneliness will not come close to me now

because you are going to be around

I can see a ray of hope and I am going to keep holding on to it.

This poem is really special and very close to my heart because I wrote it with a broken hand in the hospital. It may not be a very great composition but I let out all the negative thoughts from my system through this poem and towards the end I do sound all positive and ready to fight again and that is exactly how this poem made me feel after I wrote it in the hospital.
