Failures Only

Could you identify the trap,
The barrier everytime
That prevented 
Your ultimate liberation ?

It was always inside
That you failed to surpass
And helplessly watch 
Your chances gone again,
Thus, accepted 
The destiny of ugly repetitions only
Along the beaten track
Of torturing and ruining yourself
More and more in a stereotype.

You, too, had a Hotel California
Full of apparent pleasures
To fool you in the end,
That gave you nothing real and lasting, 
Just never,
Except allowing time to slip further. 

Therefore you, at times, wanted
To get rid of.
But for that, you needed
A threshold intensity of purpose,
For becoming almost supersonic,
A fixity that let you attain
A relatively higher speed
To compete with
The inevitable roll-over of time. 

Could you finally identify the enemy ?
Well, who else than 
Whom you foolishly considered 
Your most reliable 'best-friend'
During every idleness,
Your pampered instincts,
Who never loosened their chain
On you at any point of time.

You travelled a great lot
Along the varieties of 
The lengths and the widths
While trying to deny 
The third dimension of depth,
Which was time, the real transformer,
That kept rotating always
And you missed 
The required relative speed
To finally win over it
And reach real bliss.
