The sound of flowing water I hear

On a gloomy day, amidst a forlorn mood

Incising my soul, neatly into half

A glimpse I see of my deepest desires and hopes

Not very pleasant thing I meet on my glance within

The stench makes me hold my breath

The maggots of sins nibbling at my soul

It is my worst nightmare I see alive within me

I had struggled to create a heaven outside, I think

So ended, with a hell within

My chase after glory

The vanities in life leave me

Thinking

By the sound of the flowing water

Reminiscing on what I could and set out to be

Showing me only a mirror of what I had become

My soul eaten away by- lies, deceit and lust

Oh! What haven have I created?

I have lost myself, my soul within

Thinking heaven would be a pleasant sight.
