I had been vain
Vain at living
I had no hope no will
To keep on living
The heart might have been beating at its pace
The blood flowing at its own rythm
My brain might have been at its place
But there was no such thing as sanity
I had no one in this world
For I was an orphan myself
All I had was bad company
And people ready to leave me
I am my own father
I am my own mother
I had no family
No one trust Worthy
No education worth for I had no money
For I barely filled my stomach when I was hungry
I was ready to end this cruel lonely life
I was ready to go down that road with no regrets
That's when I heard you crying,
My saviour, like an asteroid
Crashing down on me
Dear hope, your sun ray astounded me
I chased after your light
You are my dear hope
My daughter I want to keep safe
My only family
Please be safe, never leave me.
-Mithila
