Survival

A blast afar, I regained my consciousness.

Every inch of my body aching,

Oblivious about time, and everything happening around.

Sleepless nights, traumatized mind.

The noise around, tore me apart;

The atmosphere seemed vague.

I wish I were a place, maybe Prague; 

 vibrant, optimistic and bold.

I wish I were a flower, maybe lily;

Peaceful, joyous and delicate.

One could only wish and the rest is destiny.

The spirit inside is urging for liberation;

Chains of my mind, unleashing its wrath on me. 

The memories of everything that has vanished,

reinforcing on me.

Struggling to escape, I lost my path

Only if I could get some sleep.

As I close my eyes, disfigured faces and bodies, burning houses are all I see. 

My folks turning into ashes.

Me, the only one to survive; unsought privilege.

Fire and dust everywhere.

No supplies, no sleep, nobody around. 

How many days have passed stuck in this manhole?

How many days without them?

How many more will I survive?

Waiting for nothing, not even death.

Lied in the dark; traumatized.

Hoping someone will come back;

All I need now is a little urge for Survival.
