My Journey

~Azlam Ubaid .E. Sulaim~


I set out to win,
but returned in vain!
I set out to gain,
but gave up in vain!
I ever tried for,
but never tired for.

Fascinated always by stars,
but wasted all my chance.
Thought that life's ease,
but that's never as.
Found all my time's leisure,
but was a wrong pressure.

My voyage seemed easy,
but ended up balky.
It seemed I gained,
but were all amende.
All what I gained were,
nothing but mullock.

Life seemed to crawl,
but were yare.

I need to click.
I need to acquire.
I need to endeavour.
But I was ellipsis.

What I can is,
always to try.
"try try and try,
pursuit laboriously"
were the motto,
all lingua spoke.

But I never knew,
how to try.
No one taught me,
how to try.
Probed everywhere,
how to try.

At last I found,
How to try.
But that too,
went in vain.
