Remains of my existence!!!

Feeling of ecstasy left me ages ago
but the marsh inside me that keeps me pulling down,REMAINS;

The zeal for future has vanished somewhere
but the wish to not let go off the present ,REMAINS;

The world around me is like a busy fare
but the loneliness and sinking feeling in my heart ,REMAINS;

The force that pushed me forward has long ceased to exist
but the dreams and the compulsion to fit in somewhere here ,REMAINS !!!

You seem to have become pretty philosphical these days, quite a pleasant surprise at least to me, as i always thought of you as a girl who cannot articulate her feelings well enough......i was wrong....

Though i was pretty shocked to read the poem, as it conveys the feeling of a person, who is not in total control of his/her life....who seems to be choosing paths of life bcos of compulsion instead of his own choices...who is running in a direction bcos he is afraid of going in some other direction....who doesn't knows where life is taking her, but is moving ahead due to some external/unknown force pushing her...

I may be wrong.....no wonder?????

wow, that's come from the depths... i believe each one of us battles with these "remains" inside ourselves all the time...many don't realize... many don't want to...

ek ghazal mein chipa dard dil ko choo jata hai...isliye nahi ke insaan khushiyon se oob gaya... shayad isliye ki zindagi ki jo sacchaiyaan ham mehsoos karte hain, wo koi aur bhi karta hai, ye jaan ke ek tasalli milti hai ke ham jo jee rahe hain, wo zindagi ka dastoor hai, zindagi ki sacchaii hai... kam se kam kuch logon ke liye...

mind is an amazing tool.

shuffles between the past and the present and sifts through easily forgotten and the Remains.

What Remains can be sifted as well, I believe.
