WHY DON'T I??!!

Why don't I??!!

Why am I always,
So friendly and kind,
Why don’t I give someone,
A piece of their mind,

Why am I always,
Calm, quiet and nice,
Why don’t I bash someone,
When they entice,

Why do I always,
Endure pain and criticism,
Why don’t I quieten someone,
And permanently stop their cynicism

Why don’t I speak up,
Against things I hate,
Why do I always,
Smile and patiently wait,

Why do I always say,
Forget it, I’ll endure,
Why don’t I retaliate,
And find a permanent cure,

Why am I always,
So sacrificial and timid,
Why don’t I fight,
For my rights, indeed,

Why am I always,
Content with less,
Why don’t I ever be,
Mean and ruthless,

Is it a crime being always nice,
I don’t fancy being a baddie,
I don’t know why,
But I don’t want to be mean,

I don’t know why,
Perhaps that’s how I am,
I am content being nice,
And I am just being “ME”!

p.s.. this poem's autobiographical, but perhaps, a bit exaggerated!!

REJECTED!!

Rejected!!

I never thought I would be,
Rejected right at the outset,
I never thought I would be,
Embarrassed right at the onset,

I always felt I had a chance,
Though miniscule, but nevertheless a chance,
I always felt I was meant to be with her,
By her side, in her arms, forever,

I never quite anticipated,
That it was nothing more than friendship,
I never quite expected,
That there would be no likelihood of a relationship,

All my dreams have blown apart,
In one heck of a moment,
All my desires have been torn apart,
In one split second,

I have always loved, No one but her,
I have always wanted, No one but her,
But now it doesn’t even matter,
She’s gone forever,

It’s really disheartening,
To know that there’s someone else,
Some things just don’t go your way,
This one’s just one of them,

There’s no point cribbing,
There’s no point pondering,
She’s gone; it doesn’t matter,
Be optimistic, there will be someone better,

I have to see the larger picture,

And not be too much startled,
By this small impediment faced,
Coz life goes on; happiness never ends…..

This is the reason why i am afraid to confess my love!!...i fear rejection!!

WE LOVE TO DREAM!!

We love to dream!!

We have many a dream,
We have countless ambitions,
We dream, every time, of a win,
We have innumerable aspirations,

We dream of unprecedented success,
We dream of unparalleled progress,
We want to do something offbeat and cult,
We dream always of a favorable result,

We dream about being affluent and rich,
We dream of being a VIP or a star,
We dream of milestones we want to reach,
We dream about going to places far,

We dream of strolling in the moonlight,
By the beachside, with the person you love, by your side,
We dream of many a cozy, romantic date,
And for the dreams to come true, we patiently wait,

We love being a dreamer,
Coz it’s eventually such big dreams,
That will make us a winner,
And without them, we’ll be left all alone, a whiner...

so learn to live, learn to dream, and strive to fulfil the dream!!

HAPPINESS BEYOND SORROW!!

Happiness beyond sorrow!!

Everyone’s suffered rejection at least once,
Don’t worry, don’t fret,
You’ll get another chance,
Just patiently wait.

Everyone’s been humiliated at least once,
Don’t feel you are in trouble,
You’ll soon get another chance,
You’ll soon be able to cross this hurdle

Everyone has their moments of sorrow,
When tears flow as if they’ll never halt,
Don’t feel sad, you’ll get over your woe,
This phase will soon drift and waft

Everyone feels there’s no way further,
But don’t worry, smile in pain,
Think this is just a bad phase another,
And eventually you will gain

Everyone feels down and at times, alone,
When you feel your life’s in a mess,
And when your heart is filled with distress,
But have faith, this phase would soon be gone

See the larger picture, my friends,
Do not be too much alarmed,
By the small challenges faced,
Coz just like this universe, happiness never ends…..

SUMMER OF 2009!!

Summer of 2009!!

Show me a way to beat,
This non-terminating, scorching heat,
Teach me a way to survive,
Without any hue and cry,
Enlighten me with a way to withstand,
The hot summer in this tropical land,
Someone, please illustrate me a remedy,
To my ever-increasing tyranny

I just can’t stand this heat intense,
And it’s only going to worsen, I can sense,
I feel so tired, so dizzy,
This heat’s driving me crazy,
I feel, all my day goes vain,
And this continuous perspiration is driving me insane
I feel so burnt out, I feel fatigued,
Oh, I miss the pleasant winter, I miss the wind

Give me a permanent cure,
Or at least a method to endure,
Give me a concrete solution,
To this nuisance, this problem,
I feel I have been kept in a pyre,
And not even water can end this fire,
I feel zapped of my energy,
And I am fast becoming irritated and even clumsy

Alas, nothing going’s to change; I can tell
Nothing’s going to happen,
Nothing’s going to curtail,
The wrath of the sun,
We have no choice but to endure,
This incoming surge of torture,
This, my friends, is the summer of two thousand nine,
The worst, so far, of my lifetime...
