Running But Getting Nowhere. ( a poem )



Barely catching up,meeting deadlines,never living,
thought mine was the life but it's not as fufilling.
Have no time to ponder,to take things in,
have lost the gift of being amazed,have no peace within.
             Have no time to reason,
             none to solve the enigma that is life.
             Have no realisation of the oncoming of seasons,
             just taking everything in my stride.
Have no time to relish the fruit of my labour,
no time to extend any favour.
Have no time to watch the sunset,
no time to let the mind,body and soul reset.
             With nobody can i share thoughts profound,
             have none with whom on an intellectual level i can bond.
             No time to reflect my thoughts,
             i'm just sleepwalking through life of sorts.
Oh how i'd love to lay on the grass,look at the sky and just stare,*
feels like i'm running and running but getting nowhere.
I feel like a hamster in it's cage,
but this has to stop,so i take a pledge.
            I pledge to myself that i'll start to time manage,
            a little better and tomorrow's a new page.
            WILL WRITE WELL,WILL LIVE WELL. InshaAllah.
                            -Seema Tabassum(me)

* look at the sky and stare,But ofcourse with my mouth open :)
and yes,one can say this is more of a rant than a poem,an outburst. :)
