MAD RUSH

THE MAD RUSH --Shweta Sunil


Somewhere in the mad rush
I lost the meaning of life
Lost the reason I was fighting for
Lost that sparkle, lost that smile

Somewhere in the mad rush
I realised that it wasn’t being left behind
That I was afraid of
It wasn’t victory
That I was fighting for
I was afraid, afraid of myself

Somewhere in the mad rush
I discovered the conflict
That lay within myself
I didn't know what to believe
To believe what my eyes percieve
Or that that my mind concieves?

Somewhere in the mad rush
I was robbed of the innocence, of the happiness
The thief? Me, myself.
Forced to question every action.
When I was happy
I questioned the happiness
When I was sad
I preferred to stay in the dark circle.

Somewhere in the mad rush
I learnt to wear a smile, hide the grief that lay within
Thought that if I dressed myself
With happiness
I could kill the darkness
Or atleast, hope that it seemed like it

Somewhere in that mad rush
I learnt that i had changed
I didn't realise the pain I was causing
When people saw me laugh away the tears


Somewhere in the mad rush,I realised
The truth,
It is, you don't live only for yourself
You live for those who love you too
Who can't see you sad,
Can see right through that beautiful dress
That you stitched for yourself
Called happiness
To hide those flaws, that darkness


Somewhere in the mad rush
I learnt to live
Learnt to fight against my will
Learnt to let the butterflies stay
Learnt to find back once lost,a way
Learnt to be the person I wanted to be
A person called Me.

I do understand the poem. Easy to forget what is important. Rush, rushing and never time to think. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really liked the part "When I was happy I questioned the happiness When I was sad I preferred to stay in the dark circle." I can definitely relate to that part. It seem easier to just let it happen than to fight it sometimes. This was a really good poem. I am glad you shared it with me. Thank you.
