When it is hard for the eyes to spot the difference
Between reality and virtual reflection
The commotion in the mind searches for reminiscence
But in vain goes all the introspection
He looks through the glass of guilt made
Translucent by the scars of selfishness
Yearning to do righteous deeds slowly fade
Trapped in the comfort zone exposing helplessness
Focused on the light he tries again
Trusting the trees and leaves to be real
He breaks the glass leaving weakness’ feign
To climb to the roof enchantingly surreal
Upon reaching the top he turns and sees
The journey traveled from dungeons to sky
Tired, he deep breathes the refreshing breeze
Lived and loved enough, he now wasn’t scared to die
The Uncertainty Principle 
“When it is hard for the eyes to spot the difference
Between reality and virtual reflection
The commotion in the mind searches for reminiscence
But in vain goes all the introspection”
Stunning as always
But still I have to live more and more its not enough for me 😛

Aptly said “But in vain goes all the introspection” . I have often observed most charming people committing suicide not because they are weak or something its just the matter of split of seconds when the life in-front of you become blur and life after death looks more lucrative life.

Wow, I read it thrice already.
Remarkably written, they way the poem started and the last line made it sheer brilliance. How the person is struggling to find his light and his life again but failing again and again. At the end, life no longer makes sense, in fact death seems more enchanting and desirable.

This poem is absolutely stunning, Prateek. You have a real talent as a poet – and I haven’t read your prose yet. Everything about this poem appeals to the senses, from the beautiful language and imagery to the excellent rhythm. The opening verse (or is it a stanza – I’m never sure of the difference) is really lovely.
