Chasing an illusion** مميــز **

[KHUDER_SA]

It was my destination
I’ve placed it in my vision
It was clear to me
It was not too far to reach
I didn’t need much effort
Or too long time to get to it
It was obvious and appearing to be near

**************
I wrapped my luggage
Carried it on my back
Started my trip
With my first step
Followed by the second
Until I completed hundreds of miles
Yet I couldn’t get to my destination

*****************

I turned my face back
I couldn’t see my departing point
It was hidden behind the horizon
I looked ahead
I found the distance as to be the same
I felt as I didn’t move of my place
It was so near yet so far
I forced my weary feet to keep on walking
The short distance was encouraging me
To dismiss my despair
It was giving me more energy to move
But I appeared as I was walking on treadmill
I was exerting efforts for no success
I didn’t realize that until someone came
And banged the back of my head
To tell me,
Hey…you are running after an illusion

Yes…I needed that bash to wake up
And to divert my trip to another direction
To reach a different destination

***************
I repeated the trip several times
And every time I come to know
That I’ve been chasing an illusion
No matter the destination is near
Or far
Appearing clear or vague
And no matter if the way to it
is smooth or rough
The result is always the same
It’s an illusion
The more I run towards it
The more I get away of it
My story in simple words is…
“An everlasting disappointment”

Thank you the Other Face for spending time to read my poem “if I may call it so”. I promise to keep on participating in this forum as long as people like you appreciate what I post

It is true dear sister that one of the most disappointing things in everybody’s life is that when he or she finds out that he or she was heading to his or her goal but in the opposite direction and the time left is too short restart the trip the other way around

But the question is, what causes the deceiving goals in an individual’s life is it rushing after romantic or dreamy wishes to the extent of imagining them to be achievable with disregard of the obstacles that are on the way to reach such goals or it is because we find out at a later stage that there are other goals that suite our needs better than those that we decided at the beginning or you think there could be other reasons

slaaam again brother Khuder....

Hope u r fine...

well brother as u said..people run after these goals thinking it is possible for them to reach for it and acheive it... they have hope and have the courage to suffer in order to acheive their goal and dream... hope, is their weapon, their strength for continuing in their way to achieve their goal... they have faith a strong faith that they can achieve it no matter what the obstacles will be like... they will keep trying over and over again till all hopes are gone may be then they will stop.... and for not feeling disappointment or depressed they will run after another goal to satisfy their desire and to heal their soul this what I would call the process of healing.. to forget their failure and feeling weakness... some how they may find their happiness in another goal even if they didn't success in their first attempts... and I think as long as people have hope and believe in themselves as long as they will keep running after these goals... hope and faith is there reason for keep trying and their source of strength...

That's all what I can say brother Khuder..And sorry for being late...

With My Regards
