fearless

"What shall I fear
When you've said you're there?
Whether you're there or not,
because I'm deaf and born blind;
I'll know that somebody is standing by my side.
Imagining that my five fingers
are on his shoulder
I can go anywhere
Without any hesitation.
Because you've said out of love.
You are there."

Tears down my way....

Every time I feel those tears, I stand tough….

And promise to come back and start afresh…

Trying the same, building on brick by brick.

And then…

I fall again forgetting all the trials and failures.

No hope, no light can ever bring back.

That me which was my identity…….

However high I might think of myself.

In those eyes, I can never shine again…

Touching those heights which were there in sight...

Now have no faded sign too even in the dark…

And so here I make my last wish tonight….

That if I ever reach that stage,

Of daring to take that last step too in this life…

Just don’t wish to leave those tears falling down ever….
