Looking ahead
I can see a picturesque pond
Joyfulness filled my body, Finally! It exists
I’ll use all my energy, I will use all of it, I insist
It exists
I am blinded by optimism
I come closer
Leaning over to touch the water
It does not exist
It is a bare mirage
Utter confusion found it’s way to me
What part of the empty glass didn’t you see?
Drop after drop of despair leaked down the roof of my mind
The drops soon turned into a turbulent ocean as they combined
Bewilderment took over
Will this ever come to a closure?
I was oblivious of the drainage cover for the ocean of drops
Oblivion it is
I pull the cover
I let go of it
The water leaks out
My mind is free of the turbulent ocean
