Do you feel the way I do ??

Well, there are times when you are low... times you feel inspirational, joyous, pitiable... Something inspires you but you lack the will to go ahead... As a student, a teenager and a young adult you suddenly realise you have made nothing out of yourself... Though, you are too young to do something now but yet, big enough to consider this bitter sweet reality...

We are vulnerable to so many societal vices and afraid of what lies ahead... will i be successful and will i make SOMETHING of myself...?? At this time our minds are wrapped with dilemma and insecurity... in search of some cocoon which shall protect you. Well, this was my story and i felt better to find it true with every being of my age... and i came with an answer to WHO AM I?? I am a WANDERING VAGABOND.....


The horizon calls me, success lures me,
The ant is inspiring me and the white light of Reason promises to guide me.
They ask me to start from scratch to build my name,
And embark upon a journey from obscurity to fame.

I am afraid if it's Satan's call from the Hellish Halloween world,
or may be i am too apprehensive about my security.
Pampered in this materialistic world amidst all comfort,
I know it shall be herculean for me to bid adieu,
but i cannot let my fear override my passionate and strong ambitions.

I know that success, as well, is a mirage,
Which invites you and ultimately fools you,
but then success is not about reaching the horizons,
its about as far as you can get.
Success is a mighty decision,
which i shall not delay further,
I have heard many such stories,
Now its high time i build my own.

There must be a question in all you perplexed minds,
"who am I?"
Look within yourself, my friend,
I might as well be you.
I am any young obscure to the world,
I am any oblivious teenager who is ready to strive,
I am as well a banyan, firm and still,
I am any name amidst a crowd,

I am a WANDERING VAGABOND...
