a lesser being

frustration poured out

Caught in the uncertainities of life,

Oh God! Why do I despair?

Hope is not for lesser beings like me;

never was, nor will ever be.

Born devoid of masculinity,

Is that the curse I've to endure?

Or my mere presence as a living soul on earth,

an omen of death to all of true concern?

Hapless, desolate, I trudge forth

through the uncertainities of life.

It isn't my form that makes me weak,

instead being caught in the snares of

doubts and customs of those of 

my same form and shape.

I struggle on and on,

weakened by the tide of societal observances,

strengthened by the will to change things for oneself.

Time flies, things change,

yet where do I stand?

In the same old place, 

caught in the uncertainities of life,

hapless and desolate...

i am glad that you turned your frustrations into something as beautiful as this piece. but i might say that we make our own destiny and we are given choices whether to remain in that same hapless and desolate place or to take all the risks and defy traditions/norms in order to achieve the things we want.

[being me]

yes but you feel weak when your loved ones are the reason behind all this

its a sad poem. everyone feels hopeless when frustration takes hold of us..
life can be so unfair, and frustrating at times, right? its all right - after sometime you 'll realize that you too can FLY with time :)

[being me]

i hope so

[The Dreamer]

life is like a wave - it goes down and then it WILL go up :)

[being me]

it goes down again na:D and the rise doesn't seem impressive

[The Dreamer]

yes it WILL go down - but it doesn't have to be periodical - i mean it can stay longer up that it stays down! besides - if it stays UP all the time - you'll see that you'll get fed up of it soon - most often its when the graph goes down - you discover new things within you and learn to be a better person than you already are. if it stays up all the time - i dont think anyone would change for good :)

Lost and alone with the entire world sitting at our door step. Only to find when we open that door it disappears into the vacuum that is our own sense of worth. Very deep and dark and nicely penned.
