SCARED AGAIN

Lost among the cacophony of life
dead amid my myriad emotions
extinct in my routine life and mundane commotions
Yet again,
it’s a hope I had stopped hoping,
it’s a step I had stopped taking,
destiny has started playing the funny game,
skipping beats, heaving chest, warming ears,
moody songs, abrupt smiles, sudden cheers,
Running away since years I have come to a full circle
I think it has happened again

I said I was a dreamer but guess I wasn’t the only one,
Should have stopped a while before but all I did was run
a tryst again with kismet which I can’t avoid,
venturing again into the fool’s paradise to fill the void
Been alone but haven't felt lonely since quite some time,
scribbled here and there but the words did not rhyme
I shudder at the thought of taking the leap again,
I hold myself back fearing it would hurt again,
I think after a long a time I am scared again.
