Last Day

A Poem

I’ll never know whether today,
Shall be my last day,
I would go to sleep as
usual never wake up,
again to see the birth of
another day.
I won’t have any dreams
to remember,
Neither have any
words to say.
Or while crossing
some busy road,
Some speeding car would come,
Knock me off the ground,
I would land in the grave,
Perhaps, dug for me.
I haven’t pondered over,
What I have achieved.
That I haven’t.
What I have gained,
That I have lost.
I set out to win people’s hearts,
Ended up breaking my own.
I intended to do deeds of good,
Inturn, ended up doing that of bad.
The amazing friends I made,
Plus, enemies I got.
Birth comes with relationships,
it’s attachments,
While death breaks them all,
leads us towards detachment.
I came here empty handed,
So shall I go.
