Towards The End...

A sadistic poem for New Year, symbolizing disappointment. I wrote it in 2011.

IT'S THE LAST DAY,
THIS YEAR'S LAST NIGHT.
LAST CHANCE OF THIS TIME,
TO MAKE ALL THE WRONGS RIGHT.
TRYING TO WORK ON THINGS,
DAMAGE THAT I CAN MEND.
BUT IT ALL SEEMS NUISANCE,
AS AM WALKING TOWARDS THE END...
 
ANOTHER YEAR IS ABOUT TO PASS,
ANOTHER YEAR IS ABOUT TO START.
IT'S A NEW MORNING,
A NEW WORLD,
WITH NEW HOPES AND OPPORTUNITIES.
THE NEW WORLD WITH NEW PROMISES,
BUT IT ALL SEEMS NUISANCE,
AS AM WALKING TOWARDS THE END...
 
AM THINKING THE UNTHINKABLE,
AM BEARING THE UNBEARABLE.
MOVING WITH THE WIND,
BUT THE WIND ITSELF IS SO MISERABLE.
TRYING TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES,
DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THEM AGAIN.
BUT IT ALL SEEMS NUISANCE,
AS AM WALKING TOWARDS THE END...
 
LIVING AN INSIGNIFICANT LIFE,
WITH NOTHING YET ACHIEVED.
JUST THE WASTE OF OPPORTUNITIES,
AND AM HELL LOT AGGRIEVED.
LIVING AT THE EDGE,
TRYING TO SUCCEED.
BUT ALL IT SEEMS NUISANCE,
AS AM WALKING TOWARDS THE END...

Reminds me of Arnold's 'Dover Beach' . The poem is pessimistic but interesting. Also, the obscurity of the theme makes it kind of mystical, the way you take us into gloominess and out again and again inside. Very nicely here, you have revisited the thought that New year is nothing but celebration of 'end'. How we celebrate growing older each year and moving slowly and gradually towards death. Very well done.

Yeah, it's ironic, thank you for reading...:)

Sad and painful, it expresses a very forlorn feeling. I understand the person might having a bad time but we always have to keep it positive. :) Thanks for sharing this great work of yours.

[Sanjh]

Thank you so much Shitsune...:)

[Shitsune Hyuuga]

You're welcome Sanjh. :)

[Misha]

Intense, honest but i would suggest the person intended to look at all the positive things mentioned cause there`s nothing at the end, its no solution.

[Sanjh]

Thank you so much for reading Misha...:)

I thought is was a great read; one of regret and hope but then simply giving up. A lot of sadness and emotion came forth in this piece. Made me think, inspiring. Finding myself wanting to say, your life has just begun...I really like it. The new year is coming, regret follows. thank you.

[Sanjh]

Thank you so much...:)

[Sanjh]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it...:)

[M.A.Rathore]

Though the poem is good in its sense yet you required hope for the better opportunity instead leaving the field of war...

[Sanjh]

Yes, true words Sir. We can feel defeated and stop trying or we can try again and again till we succeed. thank you so much for reading...:)

Certain days we will re-think life and action. New Years day is one. I believe we can change path and thoughts when we need to. Walking the edge is a two purpose coin. We need the thrill and reasons to go forward. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Yes, you are right Coyote, the past is not in our hands but the future is. We always have the choice.

Whatever going inside your mind seems like it's a great possession.
You've explained it all with sharp strong words... I liked the lines :- "AM THINKING THE UNTHINKABLE,
AM BEARING THE UNBEARABLE.
MOVING WITH THE WIND,
BUT THE WIND ITSELF IS SO MISERABLE.
TRYING TO LEARN FROM MISTAKES,
DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THEM AGAIN.
BUT IT ALL SEEMS NUISANCE,
AS AM WALKING TOWARDS THE END..."
The poem seems to make an impression of moral: "Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice!"

[Sanjh]

Yes, it's always our choice, whether to hold onto something and cry or to move on taking a lesson from the past.
Well said Jahanvi...Thank you for reading...:)
