------Hold on tight-----

I thought,

Many strings, held me safe
from the dark and ugly world below

Some strings, got broken
because i let go of them

Some strings, got broken
because they were just fake

Few strings, got reattached,
because they were just weak.

Few strings bonded to me,
and made me feel happy.

Now i realise, only these few strings
hold me safe from the dark and ugly world below.

So I better hold on tight =)

Darkness

Darkness, that scares you
Darkness, that overthrows any happy feeling in you,
you can almost hear it laughing at you.
Ah! Imagine my condition, being left all alone at it.
without even a spec of light to guide me to safety.

"Pity!" you would say,
But no one can understand.
how much I suffered under the veil of darkness

How I used to run in all directions possible,
trying to get away from the darkness. But in vain..

This suffering went on, until one day, an idea struck me.
And after that I saw a tiny spec of light,

That light grew in brightness,
and as it neared me it multiplied,

into 2, 4, 8.....
And all of them made me realize,

i was not surrounded by darkness,
rather i was covering myself from the light.

And now, I cannot see even a tiny spec of darkness,
amidst the brightest lights that surround me. ;)
