And i was not alone…

by Suraj Ghimire

Life, as it entered a new stage in a new place,
I was trying to settle my feet here;
Amongst people, I looked at most of them,
And I related myself, with one ‘beneath’ me;
The expression they had was not strange,
Just similar to what I was carrying with me;
Something matching but also mismatching,
To conclude again, “and I was not alone”…

Struggling in life, suffering pain, adapting loss,
For my failure, I blamed almighty every time;
Yeah, I had also always excused praying for a miracle,
Sometimes doubting if he really existed somewhere;
Then I looked at the queue before the holy house,
Some praying, some crying and few shouting;
Standing with their own story, with their own pain,
To realize myself again, that “I was not alone…”

Carrying out new ambition, I set a target for life
Glancing at the world of race, I said “I needed to win”;
Yeah, I need to; I was more determined again,
My future, my dreams and my destiny lay here;
Soon I found millions paving towards success,
proclaiming them as deserving and best;
Time will be tougher and will need hard luck now ever, I knew,
To penetrate my mind again, “and I was not alone”…

Carrying Innocence and being humble, respected,
I believed I could land somewhere in a good place;
I needed some peace and joy of living life, but
Needed that spirit, the very blessed one,
In search of harmony, brotherhood, love and so on…
World was unpredictable for me, I requested God;
“My name in this book of life, please don’t erase it, lord”,
Many are ahead of me for that, as “I was not alone“…

Every place I roamed, every aspect I analyzed,
I found billions, crying & suffering more than me,
I found millions, happier and more successful than me;
More lovely, obedient and loyal than what I really am!
More unlucky, dull, poor and ignored than what I am;
Fear of insecurity, damage and heavy loss in future,
Still with confidence, joy and hope, coz I am not alone
I was no more cherished by sky, coz I was not alone…
Still, feeling as a blessed one, coz I am not alone…
