Dialogs of Desperation

Have you ever been in a position where everything looked bleak? No inspiration what so ever around you... A standstill so motionless that you feel non-living/ non-existent... Well, I never was in that position... But I thought that this will be the thoughts of one in such a situation.

Presenting to you all,

'Dialogs of Desperation'

Why this standstill?
Why no motion?
The path in front seems so uphill
Resolve and will fall to erosion

Where to find a solution
To this problem so huge
And amongst all this confusion
I find no place for refuge

Sinking beneath the surface
I hit a rock bottom low
Out of mind, out of the race
This indeed, is a body blow!

'How to get out of this?' I think
Is there anyone to bail me out?
Pondering over the missing link
In this ever wintry drought

Thoughts conspire an image so weird
An image too blurred to see
And after a momentary pause it cleared
Damn! the answer is me!

Mumbling dialogs of desperation
I look out of the paned window
Into the light I see the inspiration
So bright that it rid me of the dark shadow
