The Missing Soul

The urge to learn more The urge to speak in front of the public The urge to be at the top
By Amrit Poudel

The urge to learn more

The urge to speak in front of the public

The urge to be at the top

The urge to not have the heart contemplate,

the feeling of being neglected

or being at the bottom

A glorious childhood I recall

The boy who showed true mettle



As the sleepless nights leaves me tremble

Contemplating and squinting

Over the fallen leaves, while the rain drizzle

Wet, deformed: no sign of life

I see the silver lining in the darkest clouds

A mere hope keeps me alive

That the soul of a childish boy

One day shall fill this void

and have me push myself

to the top, to the  center

and ask of me to smile with no disdain

and remind me,

the days of today shall carry some weight

as does the empty kettle

the stars shall align to your right

if you house yourself in a fine fettle
