Deep down the horizon, I saw a figure cryin'!

"Impossible! How could I make out this?"

Well ..., I felt like someone cryin'.

However hard I tried, I failed to recognise;

In desperation, I doubled my effort ...

No use! It indeed was impossible!

To whatever mean I resort.

My eyes dropped, hope sunk,

heart choked and mind defunct.

Was it me searching something,

or simply stuck into a wild goose hunt?

Then there was the reprieve, past me I saw a vehicle drive.

The chain of thought was snapped, and return to reality I had.

Respite, as always, had gone in a flash,

Here I was again looking deep down .... No luck!

Unwillingly, unknowingly eyes ran into the space,

Ruffling for the bugbear through earth-cloud embrace!

I don't know how, I don't know why, but a deja vu stuck;

I felt like it's been always there, it crying ..., me trying .....!

Back through the running cab, nervously holding my thinking cap,

I gave a very concerted try, it again failed to identify.

I was obviously going through hell,

struggling hard to agnise ...

I started (Or, was I already?) feeling the same way ...,

say, tried to harmonise ...

The canker had claimed its man, but I failed to realise;

Mulling and wondering, but surely enough I had to oblige!

What a start to a bright day, I had to cope anyway.

I didnot wish anything and prayed the day passed away.

But fate had something in store for me, this is why I fear Thee.

A revelation came as though a gift, and I was surprised to say the least.

I got to know what it was that had taken its toll,

Realised how crazy it was, I failed to read my soul!

No, it was not the distance that made the task tough, it was the lack of it!

It was me, my own inner self, that appeared far away to seek my help.

I have been negligent to the most bookish sense,

forgot to notice myself over the fence.

By mistake or by mis-take I got to realise one fact,

something against reason I did act.

Some have it over their nose, I keep it under my toes;

I am referring to one's ego, something to yourself so close!

It's happy there and quite content,

and makes me humble to a great extent ...

Finding it hurt was not a conjecture,

To my mind it had enforced;

Demanded I must ask myself:

Why did you "Ever Go Overboard"???
