Dingy Aura

By Preetty Marak

Sometimes I want to be happy

Most of the times I remain sad

Good is never my mood

My mood has a habit of being bad

Hopes seem blur, trust seems to fade

Sometimes I want to be happy

Most of the times I remain sad

The reason being unknown & a mystery

A puzzle to be solved at pace

May be I am just born with this tag

Sometimes I want to be happy

Most of the times I remain sad

Floating & bloating in the salty sea

Like a sea wave furious being mercilessly drag

Like huge tidal hits the stone until it breaks

Sometimes I want to be happy

Most of the time I remain sad

Feeling nostalgic, uneasy and helpless

Lost in darkness even my shadow fades

Like the light has refused to open the gates

Sometimes I want to be happy

Most of the time I remain sad.
