My Fiend Friend Poem by Abhilash Pattnaik

It's all over and time to go, He said
My head lowered, I copiously wept
To the failures and losses that beleaguered
As the ghastly fear into me crept.

All my hard work and determination
Had given way to elimination
My own self precariously broke loose, impossible to harness.
The silence was deafening and blinding was the darkness

Shattered and broken, I fell to the floor
The darkness increased and closed seemed the door
They shrugged shoulders and pointed fingers
As loss inside me vehemently lingered.

But somehow I knew this wasn't the end
As losing had never been a friend
I wasn't running away and I was here to stay
Leaving my not so friendly, friend at bay
With faith and believe
I was ready to rise, As
Even the worst of things wouldn't stop me
Even in the best disguise.



And now, the broken and shattered pieces are one
All the fear and pain now gone
I smiled at the awful years that have passed away
And embraced the bright ones that in future lay.
