Hallucination

I was walking down the lane in the deepest of thoughts
Measuring up things that i have achieved and lost

As I marched on, I began to hallucinate
You, he, she, him, her, everyone of you played a part in my fate

The empty road looked daunting, yet moonlight making it scenic
Success did have a price, it always brought some loss, but I didn’t panic

A little further I went, met a reflection yelling my name
On closer inspection, I realised that it’s the future me longing for fame

The road didn’t end and there were choices for diversions
I wanted to go back, but U-turn fom there wasn’t an option

Stranded over there, life crept on slowly but surely
Mistaken was I, chasing success, didn’t realise,
The cost of it was the very life, which I lived barely

When the hallucination ended, success meant so less
What I achieved and lost held no true sense
Life it was to be lived, life it was to be believed
Such a life without caring for success and failure
For if living it, consider yourself to be blessed

Life it is to be lived, life it is to be believed
