Mom was right

My mom keeps saying
I know not the ways of the world
and how to live

I always said
see through my eyes
there is a world of difference
and in it lies the bliss

But, may be this is the time
to accept my defeat in life
not as I lost to mom
but as I lost to myself
When I am nearing my ruin
as I can no longer take this pain
from the path I have chosen
my path leaving me nowhere
but ending in neverending sorrow
when I knew my eyes showed me
what I wanted but not what they saw

My mom was right in saying
'I know not the ways of the world
and how to live
