walking home on a Sunday evening, thinking about life, thinking about myself, i get stuck in a sudden downpour;
without nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, i walk along, unmindful of the pouring rain;
seeing an empty bus stand, i walk my way towards it, to escape the rain, walking my way towards it, i suddenly slip and fall down;
gathering myself once again, i look up to see the, once empty stand , now brimming with life;
with my journey just started, i move on to the next shade, the moment i step in, i am pushed back into the rain;
clueless, wondering why, i try to get an answer, but to no avail, stepping back into the rain;
i move on once again, slowly making my way, i suddenly find myself, dragged into another shade;
assuming my search is over, i slowly settle myself in, only to be ensnared, and thrown back into the rain;
blaming myself for everything, i continue to walk in this (never ending) rain, life it seems, is hell bent on , pushing me away to fight, a battle i have grown weary of!
