Despondency

A Poem by Nitesh Mahabal

With no leads to follow,
You quit your probe,
And as time passes,
You keep losing hope

Uncertainty lies ahead,
Promises waiting to be broken,
Courage refuses to grow,
Hopeless and shaken,

The endless road,
With no destination to reach,
Guts shouting it’s heart out,
To retreat your seigh,

Duel of heart and mind,
Fight between feeling and thinking,
Unsettling late nights,
Staring at ceiling, with eyes unblinking,

Long, cold winters,
That you feel in your heart,
Praying and hoping,
For a chance to restart.
