A Life Ruined And Saved Poem by Vidushi Khera

You want to be happy
You see happiness waiting for you at the end of the path
It’s a tough path to tread
It wears you out and you want to stop
But you go on
Coz you want happiness so bad
You think it’s so eternal and you keep moving
It keeps moving farther away
You want to see it near
And so you go on
The path is so dazy you never know
It’s a road, it’s a bridge
And the next moment you’re hanging from the edge
But you wearily get back up on your feet
Coz you want to go on
The bridge, the river, it never ends
You just keep moving, at least you think you do
But you know it’s not true, you’re on the wrong path
But you still go on
And you don’t know why
It’s the path you’ve taken
You don’t know the route ahead and you’re uncertain
Uncertain of going back coz you’re tempted to go forward
You just want to be happy
And the path leads you there, but you see
It’s nothing more than an endless bridge
And you want to get to the other side
You’ll never reach it coz it’s an illusion
It’s watching you, you amuse it, you’re the devil’s plaything
And still you just go on….
I’ll be your angel, I’ll give you my love
I’ll pick you up from this dump
If only you’d reach out to me
And take my love, it will make you pure
I’ll help you out if you want me to
Reach out! But you can’t until you try
Use your head not your eyes
Coz eyes deceive you with the darkest lies
But now I’m here, I’ll bring out the truth
If only you’d listen to me
Coz I’m helpless without you and so are you
So it’s all up to you
Do you want to go on?
Or are you going to come with me
Coz you know I care
I want to give you what you want - but the right way
If only you knew I could give it to you
You’d come, you’d reach out
Give me your hand
Come on! !
