Reveal Yourself... Poem by Manish Upadhyay

There is something which restricts me,
There is something which troubles me,
I don't know whether i am travelling in the right direction or not,
But i am sure that i am on the way.

There is something which forces me to act,
There is something which stops me from acting,
I am always stuck with confusion, Sometimes it lowers my pace.

There is something which makes me feel happy,
but there is something too which feels me low.
I always face difficult circumstances,
Which forces me to give up,
But there are a few things which heal me,
Like the whisper of a mother to her baby.

There is something which stops me from looking forward,
And there is something which pulls me to the darker side of life...
But still, I find my way,
Still i walk,
i run,
i achieve and
Still i am hungry to act.
