The reason for my downfall…
I saw my destination right from where I was standing
Everything was clear
As I took my first steps forwards, a sense of overwhelming enthusiasm took over me
I was so happy to have a soulful journey like that
A sense of commitment and dedication filled the insides of my heart and mind
To work on something so meaningful and full filling was what I was looking for all my life
And when I found such a thing I was just glad that I did
The first few steps were perfect
I was greeted all the way
Then came a time were the path was full of thorns and stones
Hurt, limping, I went forward
So proud to have overcome difficulties, I failed to see that those weren’t the real ones
Swayed by enormous pride, my vision faltered
My sight fell on the roadside restaurant, restaurant of silly pleasures
I went in for light refreshment, but instead I ended up having a whole dinner for an hour
Realized I was late for my destination, I burst out, cursing my irresponsible mind
Just to see a bad storm developing
The wind, the rain, the lightning, thunder…
I still moved forward
For a second there, I just thought about having a nap before straining myself any further
Which I will regret for my entire life
I took refuge in the motel of Love
Which promised me a lifetime of rent-free stay
Days became months
Suddenly one fine day, the motel owner started demanding me rent for all the months of stay
Betrayed, fooled,
I paid her with all the money I had with me
I lost all my money, precious time which could’ve been used to help me reach my destination
But when I came out of the motel,
I was so depressed to see that
I failed my mission
I lost all that I was once proud of.
And even more depressing was the fact that,
The reason for my downfall… was ME!
