Bon Voyage

By Shreyansh Upadhyay

This time the route of home to station

was a long passage

Everyone's eyes were heavier

than all the luggage

Upon reaching the platform I looked back,

the scene was like a dull vintage image

My family knew that I will not return the same,

still I left my heart as the mortgage

I was not willing to breathe a new air,

but the company offered a good package

People told that money was the ultimate need,

and getting this job was a big privilege

I had to earn to fix the things,

keeping my heart in the biggest damage

Friends manifested happy faces,

but their eyes revealed the true message

New city is bigger and busier,

it's never possible to find the same homage

I learned that it's good to be friends,

but goodbyes take the most courage

Nobody could help in this,

all they said was “Bon Voyage”
