A Fool's Dream ??

Loss of Faith

I leaped and reach out my hand,
yet it's not high enough to touch the stars.
I ran till my lungs begged for air,
yet it's not faster than a gust of wind.
I screamed till tears streamed from my eyes,
yet it's not loud enough to be heard by anyone close.
I prayed for the impossible to happen till I was lost in the transient of my thoughts,
yet maybe it's just too difficult to realize.


NEVER

Speak, I could, but never fluent.
Write, I could, but never expressive.
Listen, I could, but never understood.
Sing, I could,but never in tune.

Jump, I could, but never far.
Run, I could, but never fast.
Climb, I could, but never high.
Dribble, I could, but never with a ball.

Read, I could, but never before a crowd.
Think, I could, but never acted upon.
Dance, I could, but never with a girl.
Yet again,
Never, I could, say never.




Looking at those who are blessed with the gift of the gab...the natural flair for words...the athleticism to fare decently in sports...the movie star good looks or the charming personality to woo a crowd......I cannot help but feel rather inferior. I used to question myself what am I good at...what are my niche areas...mostly I was left speechless. Agreed. I have a rather low self esteem when it concerns my abilities and decision making skills...often doubting myself.

Perhaps it is a twist of fate. My vocation maybe monotonous and dull...on the flip side...I view it as an opportunity to ponder over my inner thoughts and to take things as it goes...letting nature to take its course. Though I may be inept in more areas than one...I have never lost hope in my search of something I think I may be actually good at.

Anyway...in a few hours time...Arsenal FC will battle Barcelona in the Champions League Final. It will be the first time in history that Arsenal will appear in the final...adding on to the fact that they will be playing in a new stadium next season...and the impending future of its skipper hinging upon the outcome of this game...there will be much incentives for the team to do the club proud. Though deemed overwhelmingly as the underdogs...I still believe that with the grit and determination displayed in the previous rounds...They have every bit of a chance to claim the top honours. Well......whoever says one cannot dream ?


Sometimes People Dream...Yet no matter how Impossible...the Hope to realize must not be Diminished.
