A Blind Race

A Blind Race
Clueless and riddled, I sometimes ponder,
My desires have taken a shape of a storm,
And like a reckless river, I know no bounds,
Though I trudge along, the path is not mine.
How I run so mad after this alluring world,
And conform ways to stay in the blind race,
I flock to the wind and leave my door behind,
Stormed by dazzling ocean of vagrant waves.
Charmed by the sweet dreams, I wander places,
Not knowing which bough to sit, which way to fly ?
I tread paths, dragged by the messmerizing eyes,
Drawn to the magic of wily world, I 've lost my way.
Could I be able to find own way and redeem me ?
Heart was mine but the beating has betrayed me ,
Mind was mine but the thinking has choked me,
The charms of the world have sedated my mind.
Caged in a hypnotic fatal sight, I could not escape,
Entangled in a web woven by me, I could not return,
Eyes have forgotten the track, which was once mine,
I still know what love is , but the passions 've left me.
I can talk for hours, but the words are not my words ,
What a wonder I sleep, but the dreams are not mine,
I revel in all my feats, but success is not my success,
Though I take my breathing, but the living is not mine.
Stung by the snares and smiles, I follow what they say,
Though mirror is the same, but I don't see my own face,
Mad of voices, strangled by tones, my steps deceive me ,
I've obscured myself by a lithe veil, my soul has left me.

Eddy.
sad reflections! but, it made so much meaning to me.
I have learnt to be myself no matter what. I don't follow the crowd that's why I made rules for myself. LOL.
Rediscover yourself and make a new way; forget the people in the world and what they say. live your own life...
good one!
ah this world so filled with carbon cut outs that it is hard to know the sound of your own voice,
a though provoking write, so very well done :)
You are so good at expressing yourself in few words! The message is clear, Be yourself and be content and happy about it.
Very well done!
I like who i am and would not change anything about me those who feel the opposite I feel for them. Your powerful words struck a cord it is so true and valuable to know be yourself is the most important in life.
Wonderful poem Harishprasad. It is easy to get lost in the world and all it offers. We can become like clones and be lead by the masses trying to compete and just getting lost in the crowd. It's easy to lose our identity and our uniqueness, but we have to fight to find it and be ourselves. Be different and proud of it. It is the unique people who stand out and make a difference to the world. Voted up.
That beauty of not being. Excellent.
