STATIC

Life gets static, and we never realise,
Life gets stuck, and we seldom think why,
So engrosed are we with percieved challenges,
We forget ourselves, and when we fall in the quick sand,
We realise that life has fallen static and so have we.
It takes that one moment for us to realise,
That one step, that one blow of wind,
It alerts us of the onging slow avalanche,
Yet we never take note of it,
Yet we unguard ourselves time and again.
And when failure strikes, deep into our flesh,
We scream in pain, silently, away from prying eyes,
And that is the time when we know we are still at the same place,
Stuck in the past, just as we were,
And the pain is not about the failure, it is about being static.
And then we look back, solemly, with some determination,
We realise that the roadblaocks were the same,
That our nemesis has not changed,
That the defeats came at the same juncture, at the same cost,
And that we have not really learnt much from them, ever....
Static as ever!
