Unleashed Through Irony

- Jatinder Gill

This path I am following, I fear every step

The pressure is too immense

Every step is sounding louder

My feet are feeling heavier

I feel trapped

I feel the wrath

Yet I must make sure my step is better

Than those competitors also walking viscous path

I cannot buckle under the pressure

I must carry on

I loathe this path, but I must carry on

The anxiety is draining my will to live

Then suddenly I fall, I have failed!

Yet concrete I see you for the first time and attempt to realize who you are

Whilst I' m wandering this lonely path

You are facing the battering of my heavy aggressive step

Not only mine, but everyone else's

Whilst we are all stressing, you are just there

O Gracious humble concrete,

How are you different to me and everyone else in essence?

You don't stress, you are not bound by social competition. You are free

Can't I be the same?

O Gracious humble concrete you have made me aware that I can enjoy this path

I don't have to fear each step because I am you

And so is every body else

Nothing is different

My failing is ironic

When I thought I failed is made me love this journey

For now I don't each step

Because everything is you

And every time. I fall you are there

And each so called successful step you are there

And for everybody else's step you are there

I don't fear the end of the journey, because I am enjoying it

O life you remind me of a famous saying by 'Oscar Wilde'

That 'Life's too important to be taken seriously'

I want to progress in this journey

And be you, the love
