Straight from my heart...

The break-up!! I never quite imagined, Even this could ever happen, As my world came crashing down, All of a sudden, It was going on so smoothly, And it all changed so abruptly, Now without you around, My spirit is surely getting dampened by the hour, I know I have been a nincompoop, As you so often rightly said, But why did you leave me, I am already feeling half-dead, I admit I have been intransigent, As you so often mentioned, But I feel, you should have been a bit patient, For you, I would have readily changed, We had a great time together, This I could always sense, I love you, I need you, I miss you, And now I am feeling lonely immense, Life’s indeed a roller-coaster ride, It’s a see-saw of pleasure and pain, A blend of high and low tide, Sometimes we lose, sometimes we gain, How will I get over this unexpected break-up, I wonder, How will I re-emerge from this, Unscathed, I wonder, I am contemplating over the countless causes, That led to this major setback, I am seeking divine ...

Terrorism!! We look at the daily newspapers and gasp, Seeing the rise of terrorism in our country, We keep blaming the politicians, the system, But do we ever contemplate, do we ever think, Do we ever reflect and try and find a reason, Is it always necessary to transgress, Is it unavoidable to go astray, To achieve fame, name and success, Is it necessary to give in, To powerful people and commit a sin, Is it compulsory to give others’ sorrow, Just because by that we can have a better tomorrow, We fall prey to easy money, We commit crime in haste, But for once, can’t we think pure and chaste, These influential men tell us lies and give us false hope, They destroy our conscience, brainwash us, And compel us to do their dirty work, And our actions follow their orders, Though deep inside we know, it doesn’t make sense, Who are they to teach us how to live, Just a bunch of corrupt, anti-social minds, We betray innocent brothers and sisters, Do we have an answer to give, To God, to justify o...

Vacation!! The much awaited moment has arrived, As the supervisor collects the answer sheet, The eerie, exciting feeling creeps in, Time to rejoice, it’s party time, we scream, A couple of days pass by; Partying loud, chilling away, Enjoying this newfound freedom, Experiencing intense, unexplored side of our madness, But soon the freedom turns into boredom, As these holidays seem they’ll forever last, We suddenly start feeling so lazy, And even tired, exhausted and sleepy, Mom tells us; get off the bed, But nothing’s going on in our head, We want to laze all day, And do what we wish, come what may, We have a novel lying by our side, But we just don’t want to read, We’ve had enough fluttering of textbooks of late, Glancing at books now makes us nauseate, Not a single movie to see, When will the multiplexes strike going to cease, We, of course have our plans, Wow, But too bugged to execute them right now, We switch on the computer, Alas, no friends online, What a waste of time, And again...

I want to flee!! I feel like running away, To some place far, Where there’s no one to bother me, In any damn way, I am buckling under pressure, I am withering under stress, I am fed up beyond the limit, I just want to flee, I have faced this for a long time, I have had enough of the cries and whine, I am completely aggravated, I am totally frustrated, I don’t need a shoulder, To cry upon, I am better off alone, I must be the culprit, the biggest boulder, To people’s joy and happiness, There’s no point staying here, In a place where people can’t breathe, Because of my presence, because of me, That’s why I have decided to flee, There’s no use to adhere, To people who I loved, They are better off without me, I am better off without them, I want to flee, To some desolate place, Away from the torments, Away from the horrendous moments, I wish to run away to a place, Where there’s no one around, To accuse me and smack my face, Yes, I’ve made my decision; I want to flee …..

I wish!! I wish I could go back into the past, And relive all those memorable moments vast, I wish I could turn back the time, To the days when I was nine, I wish I could relive my cycling days, Or my “getting up late” days, I wish I had one chance, To go back a decade and see my school dance, I wish I had one opportunity, To count the number of times I smiled in totality, I always wish I could, Enjoy all those moments my parents talk about my childhood, I wish I could get my freedom again, Shouting, enjoying, rejoicing in the rain, I wish I could revisit all those wonderful places, That I can barely recollect now, amidst blank spaces, But I also wish I could change some of my past, Mistakes and sins that still sting my heart, I wish I could wipe off all those dreadful moments, That has given my life some irreparable dents, Why do I wish about things that possibly could, Never take place however hard I wish they should, I desire, I keep wishing, in moments of leisure, As such thoughts ...

Journey!! The journey’s indeed come a long way, I never expected it would someday, I did wish for it times quite a few, But it’s always a pleasant surprise, When your sweetest dreams come true, What began with plain acquaintanceship, I never even realized when, That transformed into a substantial friendship, And now it has evolved into a relationship, I never thought that would happen, I wonder is this a part of reality, Or it is some fantasy, Going on in some corner of my mind, Or is it suddenly that god has bestowed, All the luck upon me; Oh, he’s so kind, I am neither six feet tall, Nor do I have a six pack, my love, I wonder what then made you take this call, I wonder what attracted you towards me, When in the past, no one even bothered about me, I have always craved for this moment forever, Friends often made fun of this wish of mine, They said it was just a waste of time, They called me some dumb loser, They never gave me a chance whatsoever, Now it feels truly special, To give t...

God: my new best friend!! My life’s come to a standstill, I am losing all will, I am clinging on to a slim rope, I am slowly losing all hope, I am bankrupt, my career’s in doldrums, On the verge of living in slums, I am seeking one saviour, a friend, I am hoping for all my woes to end. To withstand these testing times, I need lot of pluck, To re-emerge victorious, I require loads of luck, Someone, somewhere, help me please, I am wading in troubled seas Why am I going through all this, time and again, Why do I have to endure so much pain, To fate, I don’t want to surrender, But do I have a choice, I wonder, I am questioning my ability, Over me lies a dark cloud of uncertainty, When will this phase go, I ask you, God, I am eager to know, My mood’s day-by-day becoming pensive, There must be some laurels I ought to receive, But why has joy always eluded me, Why has fate always cursed me, I ask thee. Then one day, God came in my dream, He told me to work hard, eventually I’ll win, I have no...

Learn!! Learn to accept the harsh facts, Though you want to deny them, Learn to face the reality, Though you want to ignore it, There’s no point living in fantasy, No point dreaming about fake ecstasy, Such dreams never come true, They never do. Learn to be realistic, Though you want to be optimistic, Learn to face the hurdles, Though you want to run away from them, There’s no point living in imagination, No point dreaming about a reformation, Such dreams never come true, They never do. Learn to live without something, Though you badly desire it, Learn to live without someone, Though you immensely need that special one, There’s no use shying away from pain and torture, No point dreaming about a happier future, Such dreams never come true, They never do. It’s high time we learn, To live in silent pain, It’s high time we understand, It hurts the most when you accept it the least, There’s no point having sky-scraping hope, No point dreaming about a happier future, Such dreams never come t...

I’ve had enough!! You call me a traitor, I just don’t care, You call me a cheater, I just don’t bother, You call me shit, I just don’t care, You call me dimwit, I just don’t bother I just don’t listen, To what you blabber, Coz I know who I am, I know my identity, I know the reality You tease me, you hurt me, Every single occasion, You criticize me, You misunderstand me, And put me in depression, I keep silent, I don’t retaliate, Not that I am afraid, But I am fed up of your crap, I’ve had enough, I’ve suffered enough I wish you guys would change, But what I wish is never what I get, What I get is a bunch of dishonorable colleagues, And a life equivalent, To a thousand deaths …

Reason to smile!! I am searching for one reason, That can make me smile, I am seeking one person, Who can make me smile, People talk philosophy about smile, They say, smile has the might, That can make things right, A weapon of non-violence but of maximum might, People complain I smile less, They say I laugh less, Why should I smile just for someone’s sake, What’s the point of giving a smile fake, Smile should spread love, It’s shouldn’t be artificial, Like the one that models so often give, Just to show their sparkling teeth, I seek a smile that illustrates happiness, A smile that makes problems vanish, A smile that can force pain to banish, I am searching for a reason for that special smile… I seek a smile that depicts contentment, A smile that illustrates pure bliss, A smile that appears after your first kiss I am searching for a reason for that special smile…
