Khayalan

I am drowning
I jumped into the sea 
Hoping to be free
But there’s an anchor to my ankle
Chaining me to the seabed, as I struggled

I leaped into the sky
Hoping to reach high
But my wings are badly broken
It hurts whenever I try

I walked into a dark tunnel
As shadows of the past chased after me
But a guiding light was there, a miracle
A blessing in disguise
A spark of sunshine in a mundane life otherwise

Once a beautiful ripe apple 
Sparkled on the tallest branch
The little boy reached for it
Happy, as he had the sweetest one
But happiness is fleeting. Temporary
Soon enough he forgets the sweet apple he once had
