My springs my trots
Have become still
My will , my determination
Now hesitant ,stagger ,
Shake like comber
Vacillate like a breathless wave
Trying to reach the brink
My knees now in spasm
Cant race with blazing sun
Now my heart says
"Don't wait , let the torrid flames
Take control of your constitution
Your soul needs to be freed
For the reason ,
It can no more bear the perturbation ,
Face the ultimate
Render your frame
It has become stale
No point , straggle
For no reason
Now you must wane
Disappear ,
Neither you nor I
Belong here
We appertain
We all came from mist
Now disentangle yourself
From this maze
The vicious circle
The labyrinth "
