“A Warrior” by: Poonam

I am leading someone else’s life, sometimes I ponder,

this isn’t my path, I know, these are foreign troubles.

This isn’t my pain to endure, this isn’t my struggle,

Oh, this agony & the never ending puzzles!

Whose darkness I am fighting? coz my mission was to only love,

I am caged & forlorn, my wings are now torn & tongue wobble.

I plead my breaths to leave this sheath, so my spirit can be free,

there is no prince charming out there, I don’t live in fantasy.

Though it is someone else’s task, I will do it with grace,

in my own style, at my divine pace.

For all of it is temporary, I know in my heart,

all of this will end, never to appear on my chart.

But till then no choice is there but to endure,

till then, I have to wear a smile, & walk like a warrior. ~Poonam
