Chasing Shadows

Posted on 12th Sep 2020 by rohit kumar

For me, life is a struggle.

It's an impossible reality every single day.

I try to understand, try to unlock the secrets,

To unravel the mystery.

I search for meaning, for reasons behind it all,

But I keep on stumbling.

I keep on hitting brick walls.

It's like going in circles, running after something,

With no beginning at all.

But there must be a reason.

 

I can't precisely describe the way I usually feel,

But I know I'm not happy,

Yet I'm not exactly sad either.

I don't feel like I'm living,

But I don't feel dead either.

I dread my existence,

However, I Select to continue going.

It's like I'm caught in a jumble of emotions,

Enveloped in emptiness and confusion.
