This delves into the struggles of self-doubt and the yearning for change amidst the relentless passage of time. It captures the feeling of being trapped by fear and uncertainty, unable to break free from the constraints of one’s own mind.

Despite the overwhelming sense of stagnation and missed opportunities, a glimmer of hope shines through, symbolized by a flickering ember in the darkness.

The poem encapsulates the universal journey of seeking courage to defy self-imposed limitations and embrace the possibility of transformation.

# Lost in Myself #

Time’s relentless beat, a taunting refrain,

Echoes of “if only” cause me endless pain.

Dreams of transformation, bold and untold,

Yet shackled by fear, I remain in the cold.

Life’s canvas, vibrant, with hues to choose,

Yet I stay still, my colors to lose.

The river rushes on, a relentless ride,

While I stand frozen, on the lonely side.

Knowledge, a vast sea, I let it crown,

In walls of doubt, I let myself drown.

Days slip away, gifts I fail to claim,

Anxious whispers, bearing my shame.

But hope remains, a flicker in the dark,

 A tiny ember, waiting for a spark.

Perhaps today, I’ll break this self-made chain,

Praying for the courage to break this frame.

(Vijay Verma)
