Stroke of luck

The story reminds of the guy so studious,

Family and fraternity calling genius and ambitious,

Wish to get back to those times again,

So that,can celebrate without guilt and pain.

Is it a stroke of luck?

No, was bad innings played out of the chuck.

Grew up lavish and in much comfort,

Thanks to prime for all the support.

Messed in between life of leisure and pleasure,

Missed the opportunities and could not treasure.

Is it a stroke of luck?

No, was bad innings played out of the chuck.

Waited for job and prized post,

Played the innings and eventually boast.

Had an ego clashed as self made,

Turning into master of none,jack of all trade.

Is it a stroke of luck?

No, bad innings played out of the chuck.

Lost the track and lost the innings,

Kicked out like the old dog without feelings.

Paid the gratia as to console,

Haven't been yet able to resole.

Is it stroke of luck?

No, bad innings played out of the chuck.

Haven't thought that life so challenging?

Seen the graphs down and spiralling.

At times feel like a joker,

Have become a habitual choker,

Swinging this life like a pendulum,

With the journey full of doldrums.

Is it a stroke of luck?

No, bad innings played out of the chuck.
