I found myself on a cliff one sunny day,
And upon where I sat,
Reminiscing the good times of a miserable tale,
Did nature give me a pat,
Acknowledgement for a life well spent,
A glorious farewell, she meant.
Down the cliff, it looked hollow,
I had planned to do the famous dive,
A poignant feeling to the marrow,
And earn the applause on which I thrive.
But then the winds were still like magic,
My life's sail had been beyond tragic,
So whence did my hope come from,
My sustenance, my calm to this storm,
Of what could I bring myself to the knee,
Only Death, for a lost soul like me.
Their expectations, I had tried to meet,
Every pretence met with a firm feet,
To be what I was not,
So I could have that I had not,
To be conformed to their ways,
Tie loose ends, thence brought many fails,
Hitherto, my deceit was painful in its wake,
My chagrin a better cover, for my very sake,
So was this punishment or a kind deed,
Or a caveat, I declined to heed.
