when i hugged my soul

Caught in rut...
grasping for air...
My body and soul
running aimlessly..
confused and battered with age n despair
Fear and envy chasing me..
to keep ahead from my own fellows
never realising that
my journey is different ...
n that i have to pace gracefully
towards my own light.
Before its late..i stop ,held my remaining breaths
calmed down my crying soul
asked it"what do you want?"
It whispered to me meekly
i just wanna be ME.
i embraced it n carressed it
for once i loved it like my own
was abondoned by me long back...
And now that i found it
i m breathless no more..
directionless no more.
