Farewell Poem by Kshiteesh Vaskota1

About to pass away through a passage
With the belongings left apart
Flushed mind and crushed heart
What I took were unwanted thoughts

Initial step was like the hell
Feet got needled with thorns and spears
Didn't I ever want to stop that time
As I didn't have any reason to stop

Hope laughed at me and belief stabbed in the back
Never had I had any chance to be stable and prudent
Dreams had always showed me that damn way
But the way got eroded by the deadly wave

Smile was what I only got from the faith
Which killed my sight and buried my thoughts
I sought for some space to perspire and rest
As I was too tired and dead with heat

I walked though through the passage
Leaving everyone a readable message
Please don't sow seed in the futile heart
Cause the heart has been pierced with darts.
