Another Life


Two roads diverged in the woods,
No matter which one I took,
I had to face death,

It was a plot to get me killed,
To fool the plot, one had to be very skilled,
But I was no Ignotus,
Inside my brain everything was rust,
I couldn’t fool death,
I couldn’t do anything to keep alive my breath,
I had lost all hope,
There was no bloody scope,
My eyes got wet,
The trap was all set,
I wanted to get out of it,
I asked death to stop this shit,
But he wouldn’t budge,
He was holding some old grudge,
I was almost crying, my head almost frying,
But in this pain, I had a thought,
A thought that shot through my body,

I was no more afraid,
With no regret for the things I have done,
For the things I have said,
With a grin on my face,
And a violent shrug,
I ran towards death and gave him a hug,
Death was happy, he thought he had won,
But he knew nothing,
There were things far more worse than death,
Losing loved ones, untimely separations,
Relationships that caused devastations,
And the jagged shards of the broken heart,

And things that went wrong since the start,

So with him I went ahead,
With these thoughts in my head,
Death assumed that victory was his,

But he still had many things to learn,
Though there was still so much to be done

With unsuccessful attempts and things undone,

My life ended

Yet I was happy,

Because,
There is always another life,
In which I can again try………!!
