Life for years
A Poem by Binay Laha
I ran away from the goal of my life.
It rains after the cloudy sky
The roof gets drizzle.
I see the rainbow, wondering.
I amazed at myself and my change.
Few hours ago, I was thinking differently.
I ran from one corner to another.
I watch my wife’s face.
I see my daughter’s mood while I say I will go far away and join in a different school for more opportunities.
Indeed, I can’t.
I was out of my family for years.
I am out of my rooted family for Last twenty-six years.
I am rootless like a refugee.
People don’t understand your sentiments.
They just show what others are doing and growing.
The sun sets in the evening.
The sun rises in the morning.
The nature is changing every day.
I am changing every day like nature.
I disagree and disappear from myself every day in essence and in escape.
Is this life I am defining in this way?
