Waves

I little word of praise... and high I go...
Another accolade... and higher I go...
Higher and higher I rise...
So high it feels like being at the top of the world...unreachable and divine!
Where my dreams suddenly seem to have turned into reality!!

And then thud!! ... I fall...
Dies away all the force...as I come crashing down to reality...
Flat I go.. from the very height that I had reached...
And it hurts.. it hurts real hard..
Then I promise myself.. not to let myself go loose into it again...
Only to say...To say that I won't...

But I let myself do it again...this time not so harsh though...
Partly coz I'm bruised... and partly coz I'm scared...
Scared not to rise... but to fall again...

I rise high.. and I fall... then again I rise.. but this time a little lower...with a feeling of emptiness..
And then so low.. ebbing away... I reconcile into my shell...
Only to return to where I started from...
Only to rise again... and to fall...
