Going through a rough phase of life

A Poem by Kunal Garg

I know I had confined myself
I need to push harder
but more time I lose
my boundries close in on me
leave me exhausted
to push any farther
everyday begins with
increased wieght on my shoulders
at the same time
I need to tackle the boulders
posed by my emotions
the more I turn back on my responsibilities
the more I am running out of options
and solutions to decrease the wieght
I am merely crawling on my way to success
while others who started with me
are running making progress
I take on the mountain of challanges
but most of the time I fall
failing to impress and gain the trust of people
who used to believe in me
in the times when everything went my way
and every challenge
was like having a cup of tea
I used to be bright
like sun shining with confidence
but I failed to cope up with
time
and was scratched by the thorns of failure
and lost my shine
but still I hope to rise
to make up for all
I have lost in a couple of years
I know I need to be bolder
shredding no more tears
but I need to be quick
and efficient in changing gears
I will prove myself dropping all my fears
