Will to Live !

As I walked the beautiful pathways of life in the most cheerful,chirpy and carefree way
So much in my own world, so in my own way

Was warned about the hurdles, was alerted about the demons
Yet I didn’t really ever seem to care, as I was always so caught up in it’s beauty that never could see the darkness coming my way

Unexpected one dark scary nite I tripped over a hurdle and fell in a deep ugly ditch
It was sure dark, ugly, scary, nothing like I had ever heard or seen of
For days I lie there bruised and in pain with little hope that too in vain

I was reminded of my beautiful pathway all the time
I did have the will to get there again one day

Yet the darkness of the ditch challenged my will time and again
Life seemed to be coming to an end, my will and hope began to crumble
Just then there was a rustle, a little light began to blink
A faint voice called out “ Is there someone down there with a will to live ?”

My crumbled hope and almost shattered will along with my bruised hurt body struggled hard to reach out to the voice
Soon I found myself struggling yet trying to climb my way up
My body was weak and in pain yet my heart showed me the beautiful pathway again
As I struggling reached to the opening of the ditch I had fallen from…I took the 1st breath of fresh air and saw my beautiful pathway ahead of me.

I looked around trying to search for the one who had called asking “ Is there someone down there with a will to live ?”
My search seemed to be in vain …there was no one in sight and I wondered why then did I hear that voice

Just then something from within spoke up to me , It said “Don’t look around my love it’s me your inner voice and your will to live that spoke too you and nobody else who has managed to get you out of this scary, painful, dark ditch, go ahead and walk the beautiful pathway that await you, live your life to your fullest and if you come across any ditches and hurdles yet again always remember your' Will to live' and u will be back on your beautiful pathway again..."
