The STEP

Peace prevails in these midnight winds
sitting with my guitar upright
on the terrace, in my garden
viewing the sleeping city
flickering lights in the abandoned streets
Mind filled with thoughts
Parents forcing me to go against my passion
Society judging my career choice
Friends laughing at me behind my back
Siblings busy in their lives
Love leaving me all alone
Nobody there to support my passion.
I don't want to back out now
Someday I'll take a step forward
Someday I'll fight all these judgemental talks
Someday I'll move on in my life
Someday I'll make a name for myself
Someday everybody will stand by me
And that someday is so far to come
So before that someday comes
I take a step forward
From the terrace railing
Meeting the floor in a dozen seconds
Surrounded by a pool of blood
Closing my eyes into darkness
With the broken instrument still in my hand.
