Here I m all lost,

Roaming alone in the forest of sorrows.

Haunted by the Demon of Dark,

Who is ready to swallow me up anytime ,

Chasing me every path I dive in.

I m lost,

Couldn’t see the light,

Have been walking since years,

All I need is a home to rest.

Although, there are many homes,

But I don’t know which one might be mine,

Have been in many rented houses,

Some were all I desired since years,

But was out of my emotional affordability it seems,

Some were by default rented only,

Some were to fake me or break me,

Some were everything for me,

But I wasn’t anyone for them,

So was thrown out of it.

I don’t wanna enter any house now,

Don’t really know what weapon it has hided,

On its base, to hurt me again.

But it seems like I won’t be able to survive without one

Who would be?

Can’t I have home who is home forever,

Who can be my roof when its lightning out,

Who can be the warmth when the rest of the world is cold,

Who can provide the peaceful shadow,

When it’s harsh sunlight out.

I know not every one is lucky to have one,

Many have to spend their sleepless night at footpath

So here I m,

Laying down on the cold floor,

In the hope of warmth

But Since it’s dark as hell

And I m lost

So all I can do

Is to wait for the Demon

To come and swallow me

The day when I give up.

But might be not today

Since it’s dark

And even Demon of Darkness

Needs to find lost me

It’s Dark and I m lost

So let it be!!!!
