WHICH IS HELL

I tried to jump off this world

to touch paradise

What if that is also a dream

and I never reach

Just a lovely sight

we think about

And while falling if told

I had jumped from paradise

And now I will touch hell

No way to go back

I dangled myself several times

Tried loosening the grip that held

But never had the courage

And remained seated at the edge

Looking at paradise or hell

Not knowing well

It looks alluring

But many beautiful things

Turn into devils

At your plight they revel

Let me be with what I have

At least I know what I have

Who will be my guarantor

When all are begging to know

Let the time come

And I will surely know

If this was hell

Or that was hell
