Lost Ideals

Gegebegege


The ideals that kept me going turned 
out to be unpractical. 
I got lost among them on my way to happiness. 
The road turned out to be difficult and winding. 
The ideals I lived with till now didn't help. 
They just dragged behind me like 
a beaten dog whom no one can help and 
it dies on the way home. 
Proud of my ideals, 
I used to walk raising 
my head towards the sun. 
My eyes hurt like hell. 
And then I suppressed the ideals 
and never tried to show them to the world. 
Although I suffered 
seeing the emptiness of my soul, 
I did nothing to fill it with something 
that would make me happy. 
I had no more strength. 
There was no one who could 
help me recover it. 
Burnt out, I was lying on the beautiful, 
green grass which smelled of my ideals.
