I believe this here is my very first poem. I wrote it when i was 15, and had just failed an examination. Since then, there have been many poems, worthier poems that i've weaved, personally perceived. but The Venom of Life still holds special regard in some obliviated corner of my heart.
The Venom of Life
I taste the venom of life
I realize that I am lonely
I look behind for my comrades
But I find nothing but darkness
I live with the ashes of the past
Ashes that once formed my reality
Now I wish to turn back time
But how can I escape beyond fate
My eyes venture for sympathy
But they don’t even find tears
They have been thirsty for years
And shed nothing but blood
It's been a long journey
And still I see no end
It's been ages since I am travelling
And earmarked as a mere traveller
There are traces of destiny on my palm
I hover over them for signs
Signs that could show me the way
Signs that could tell me where I am
I try to touch my soul
And snatch it from me myself
For then I accept Death in hope
That there's something better than Life

If you wrote it some 4 years back, then its a stamp of confirmation that you are undoubtedly a cool writer .
Beautiful work.
Such thoughts are so much flooded even today.
~~PEACE~~
This truly is an amazing poem... dunno why, but it strikes a chord inside u......
it also proves that in some ways, school educaton really can't teach u much
I try to touch my soul
And snatch it from me myself
For then I accept Death in hope
That there's something better than Life.... <3
