Always at the Top...

I have been there all the time,
At the TOP with nothing to whine,
Like the SIRIUS that is determined to Shine...

Nothing came for free or any ease,
I burnt the midnight Oil, battled the breeze,
Fought against all odds and made the Stars Believe..

The fetish to excel in all walks of life,
Coaxed the body and the mind to always be in strife,
One pleaded Stop, the other commanded never pause and sigh..

I always put at stake all that I had,
Only the taste of success gave me the HIGH,
It takes to keep moving, soaring and never Die..

But now this Excruciating Pain,
Like a thousand sharpnels pierced into the Brain,
For all the efforts and trials are going into Vain..

The body and the mind are at a constant rage,
They are now anyway in the same Cage,
"You do not have it in you anymore" is what they gauge..

Tired from the judgments and this drama unique
Solace from all this is all that I seek,
Where there is only acceptance and no critique..

"Show-Shaa" and manipulation is not my antique,
Spare me Thy Lord, the horror of this league,
All this drowns me into an ocean of fatigue..

Happy I will be in the world of my dreams,
Where there is Love and Compassionate gleam,
Give me a jolt and make me believe,
You have created a world with Truth Supreme...

With Love,
