Never managed to cross it.. Did I!

Few days back I wrote this.. And here I am again, at the crossroads of life..

Blessed was I to walk into this world,

In hands which cared and caressed me all times,

‘Papa, papa’, a distant voice I could hear,

I wanted to respond, but had to wait so long.

I stumbled and I walked and then walked too far,

Now when I turn, I see nothing but despair,

I wish I could go back to the same old days,

Into the tenderness of her love and care.

Rugged as I may look, so am I from inside,

Wish I could keep the selfish desires aside,

Free like a bird I want to fly again,

Wish I could get back my wings for the ride.

Folded those wings, to get another flight,

Not sure though, if it is right after all,

Entrapped in my own shell I want to break out,

To breathe again, and to live some more!
