Foreword: Another sleepless night put into words again. I wasn't sure whether I was going to publish this piece. The reason? I'm beginning to bore myself at times writing about it. However, I think this feeling of uncertainty regarding publishing is born purely from the frustration of this current period in my life. And then I thought why write if it is only me who is going to read it? So here it is!

Here I am at 3 again

As in the A.M I am

Bedraggled man at sea again

With weary eyes they strain..

Kept awake by mind again

By auras and tingling limbs again

When will I be free again?

When will it refrain?

I know it's chasing me again

Not long before I'm caught again

I've run out of places to hide again

To shelter from the rain..

I stand in torrential rain again 

Amidst numbness of situation again

In familiar place of too blind to see me gain

As I drag this ball and chain.

No sympathy please if it's all the same

To you I look to be seen again

As a normal guy stood on two feet again

Don't want to go against society's grain..

Even through the storm and rain

With overflowing doubt again

My mind it's drawn to you again

To lead me on my way.
