Here I am ,down and out again.

Here I am ,down and out again,

Promise of a sunshine,a new day,

Where was that?Sometimes in the past?

I know I will never walk in sunshine.


There is a corner in me,

That is dark and grey,

It cannot be painted and it will be dark there.



I wear out,I get up again and again,

I seek and find different crutches,

Each one for a little while,

For they have no strength.


Do I dare?Not till I see death ,

For I like an enemy solid and unafraid

For while I am down and out ,

It need not wait to win.


Jayamala.
