The mile
A free verse
As I walk down the road
Of life,with only a pen and paper
Some butterflies by my side,
I often realise the loneliness I am caved into
Many a times I walk past broken milestones
Only to understand the happiness stored in
Winning or sadness of losing comes and goes
Like each broken mile.
