The Midnight Escape


This evening, I; on my old wooden chair,
Sitting away from gathering;
Suddenly, kidnapped by the;
Thoughts of grief and despair.

Being in prison;
For several troubling hours,
I could do nothing;
Except watching bars.
Mind was in desire of something,
No one was partner; except twinkling stars;
I could not be able to get anything;
For there wasn’t any buses or cars.

After struggling; too much in prison,
And having nothing as fun,
I managed to escape somehow;
My heart was saying ‘wow’!

Even, after crossing the storms;
Of sadness and angers;
Along with many hopelessness’ gangsters;
My life didn’t come to its norms.
Still, was left, the bay of lies;
I ran as fast as I could;
Also, fought hardly, and stood,
It’s all because of a mind sharp and wise.

My main weapons were truth and hopefulness,
That I could came thereafter;
The escape couldn’t be done with anything less;
Thrusting was my mind for laughter.

At last, I escaped from kidnap,
Intelligence and courage saved my cap.
Surely, after such a long gap,
I was indeed of a nutritious nap.

When I came back, I found myself on my chair,
It was relieving that everything was alright ‘n’ fair.
I awaked and saw the wall clock in light;
Surprised realizing the time, past midnight.

I’ve learnt not to be sad;
Whatever be the situation- good or bad.
I’ve learnt to cope-up these with much pain;
So, will never goanna be in despair again.

Now, it’s the time to sleep;
After the lessons of value, deep.
The day had ended hence,
And it should make the difference.
