I used to live in constant dread

I used to live in constant dread,

of being trapped in incessant rain,

with sudden arrival of bad weather,

soaking my clothes, important files. 


Life can have unfortunate streaks,

so, a cautious person, I have to be

to face storms, and not feel weak,

in my quest, for reaching the peak. 


A level of alertness always helps,

preventing mishaps, restricting damages,

but sometimes, we overestimate risks, 

and exceed the limits of preparedness. 


From specific days to year-round,

my concerns, had become bound,

building walls, avoid other's advice, 

remain secure, in protective guise. 


And, it took me long to realize,

I have opened umbrella in sunlight,

missing the warmth of the rays,

fearing chills of drenched nights.
