No Surprise

I came to this place, which was ever so green,

I was attacked by people around me monstrous to be seen,

with desperation counted my days,

helpless, flabbergasted with cuts and bruised in terrible ways

Then came the light lasted few desperate lives,

escape wasn't an option until my heart was pierced despite the worthless dives.

Am I to stay here, should I leave? left me with a difficult choice,

Or should I proudly fight a hopeless battle with no rejoice.

I learnt my survival as I was crowded with the shadows that went passing me by,

I was gradually digging my own grave as the days went by

God! send me a message from heaven or a clue of some sort

"I shall not quit" I said to myself as I helplessly fought

Finally with God's grace, I got a break to find my way back

The damn silver line was quite visible comforting me like a sweet mint fag

I took a chance to gulp the drink from my last cup of sorrow,

With a wish of hope, freedom, wealth and a sane tomorrow 

I've counted by last days to finally arrive here

With a sigh of relief, head held high, I walk without fear,

I hold no regrets, my mind filled with memories and I couldn't ask for more,

"Be gone" I said to myself, without hesitation now here, I go.....
