Reality

I built a kingdom of my own.
As the walls of this kingdom went up,
I felt secure within my home.
I lost touch with reality.
I didn’t wish to change.
I didn’t let the others know
What I had gained.
My own little kingdom was
My confine.

When I moved out
I felt confused,
I felt insecure.
I applied my own self on others.
But I was nowhere.
People had changed
While I was stuck in my own little cage.

I mused over what I missd;
I looked into my little self;
I went back, I broke the walls;
I learnt to live with reality.

I feel happier, I feel relaxed.
I live a varied way of life.
I have shed fears within me.
I know a vast sea of knowledge
Is there to swim.
My mind is led into ever-
Widening thoughts.

Into this heaven of freedom
My Lord,
Help me till the last.
I do not wish to face again,
Those unsafe crumbly walls.
