KICKED OUT!!


Kicked out!!

The poem describes the feelings of a person who was fired from his job recently…

I have been in quite a shock,
For the past couple of days.
I am spending my time,
Trying to retrospect, trying to understand,
How did I get into such a sorry state.
What went wrong with my life,
Where did I lose focus and direction,
And how did my life draw closer,
To such a motionless still state.
And why was I kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden,
I haven’t the faintest idea,
I haven’t the smallest clue...

Now, I keep blaming myself,
For all that has happened.
I am holding myself responsible,
For all the grudges,
People at work held against me,
For all my failures,
For all the battles that I quit midway,
And others that I lost comprehensively.
But I always put in my best efforts.
Then why was I kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden,
I still haven’t the faintest idea,
I still haven’t the faintest clue.

Why did everyone around,
Ditch me all of a sudden.
They expected me to shoulder,
Such a huge burden.
I was given many a mighty task,
That was definitely more than what I could accomplish.
But I tried my best,
Yet, unfortunately, failed their test
Thus, I was kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden,
To sit at home and rest...

I am, rather was,
The only earning member,
Of my family of six.
But circumstances changed so drastically,
And now I am in a total fix,
Also completely worn out,
Both physically and mentally.
I used to laugh mockingly when,
I heard news of people getting fired.
But never did I realize,
That such a thing could happen to me,
That too, all of a sudden.
But now I know how it feels,
To be kicked out.
Yeah, it sure kills!!!!

The classifieds section of the newspapers,
That I had never bothered to check,
Is now my only hope for survival.
I keep praying day and night,
To relieve me from this pain and fright.
Get me a job quickly, please,
Even a meagre salary would suffice.
Show me bright sunshine again,
I shout out loud,
Enough of this dark cloud.
Enough of this rain.
God, somehow please ease this pain.
I am getting awful nightmares of late,
God, please get rid of them soon.
Do something, get me employed,
Coz I have talent, I know.
But one thing I still do not know,
Is that why was I kicked out,
That too, all of a sudden.
But now, I know how it feels,
The pain of being jobless is excruciating,
And yeah, it sure kills!!!!!!............

I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you.

You have enriched my life!! In an era where happy marriages are an illusion, In you I see love so untainted, so true, It is pleasantly surprising and gladdening, And I feel so lucky to spend my life with you, The twinkle in your eyes; the caring look on your face, I see, as I open my eyes every morning, I feel your soft hands gently stroking my forehead, The moment is beyond doubt, refreshing, I feel excited while coming back from work, Knowing someone’s eagerly waiting for me, And as we sit and share the day’s happenings, All my worries vanish; I feel happy and free, Sweetheart, let me hold you for a moment, And let all the memories flow, From the first time we met, the first time we kissed, To the birth of our children, and seeing them grow, The times spent with you have been priceless, And I can’t imagine living even a day without you, Dear, your smile mesmerizes me even now, I can spend my whole life merely gazing at you. I feel like praising you all the time, For you are a

[care for your loved ones, for u may not be with them the next moment] Love:: a journey!! What is love, a waste of time, Thought so, when i was nine. Stupid romantic movies i saw, that had many a flaw. But then, aged twelve i saw, a beautiful maiden, so elegant and tall, so beautiful, so much like a doll. That made me wonder, it made me ponder, Am i in love? I was eighteen ,and when dad would speak, all i felt, was to shout and shriek, for, a stern military voice he had i thought, being in love, is it so bad? Running, i went to my mother , but she didn't even bother. no one cared, no one listened, Drenched in pain, Tried to convince them what love is, But in vain, yet again... Years had passed, i had turned twenty five, last month, and about to take a vow, the same girl that she had been, since, at the age of twelve, i had seen, was now my bride-to-be.. Sometimes in life, u burn, but destiny always takes a nice turn, that makes life so full of fun. smitten by her, now about to mar
