Se Sentía

She felt like she was drowning
Under all of these taboos
Between all these boundaries
She felt like she was suffocating
There seemed no way out
She felt like she was helpless
There was no second chance
She felt like she was heedless
She felt llike she was sinking
Into the guilt of gluttony
She felt like she was balking
On the road to mutiny
There was no evasion
She felt like a prisoner
over her own life not death
She felt like she was a mourner

Examinations

How simple life would be 

If we had no examination to pass

No parents to please

Life would be like a mellow breeze

How relieved we all would be 

No competition to beat

No dreamy goal to achieve 

Just ourselves to please

Life would simply be incomplete

There would be no sorrow of defeat 

No happiness for what we achieve 

No appreciation and praises

No criticism or phases

Life would be so plain 

No entertainment or gain

No anxiety or stress

No scoldings of parents 

To ensure that we 

Always get the best 

Life would simply be incomplete 

Life would simply be incomplete 

Explode

We are human. We feel, the pain, the emotion, the guilt, the anger. But why do we never express it, as we should. In our lifetime, so much of what we are, what we think, what we feel just remains inside, it is never allowed to come out. It is as if what is real is locked inside and what is outside is just a mannequin, not the real thing, not the original thing. What is outside is what others want to see. Why do we hide ourselves under layers of restrictions, rules, institutions and just plain old fear. But the weird question is the fear of what? So why don't we open up all gates, remove all boundaries and let our inner light shine, let it all explode. Let's spread all the love we all have inside us. Let's spread all the happiness, the experiences, the moments, the pain, the sorrow, all of it. Let's pour our heart out, put it on a plate.What is all this fear about? Do you fear the fact that if you let the world have a piece of yourself, then you will be criticised? Abandoned? If any of these apprehensions are in your mind then I can assure you, they are all wrong. When you open the gates, what will come through is a constant stream of bright shimmering light filled with what you are. When the world feels it, you yourself will be surrounded by all that love which you have just poured out, all that happiness that was inside you will engulf you,  and give you a strength and satisfaction like you have never experienced before. We don't get a lot of chances in life. Sometimes moments come by and go and we miss them. We don't even notice them most of the time. And after some stillness, we realise what all we could have had, done, appreciated, shared, what all. There is so much to us all and we ourselves are blissfully unaware of it. There is a whole world of emotions and passion raging inside us all, trying to get a chance to break free. But we under the pressure of our social institutions, have chained it so hard that let alone break free, that world is struggling hard, very hard to survive. Please start expressing, start believing as I did or else one day that world inside you will just be gone, vanished forever. And let alone anyone else, but you yourself won't know what you are, what you were, who was the true person who resided in that body of yours. You will never know them. Stop hiding what's inside you. Just let it explode.

Hear It

It feels 
It pumps
It hopes 
It skips
It speaks 
It believes
It breaks
It tries 
It cries
It fights

Right now. Right in this second. Leave all of that pain. Leave all of that sorrow. Move. Try. Fight. Cry. To see the sunshine on the other side, it is all worth it. Get busy living or get busy dying. Because when that one moment comes, the right moment, the moment that only you and no one else can experience, can feel, then all will fall in place. All will shine brighter, brighter than the sun. Work till that moment comes. When that rush fills your body and your mind. When the sky seems so near and just around. When it seems that making yourself happy is the most important thing in the world. When seeing a smile on someones face won't matter as much as the peace inside you. To reach that moment, to reach that peak, to experience the adrenaline,  keep on moving, keep on running, keep on trying, keep on fighting faster than light or sound, faster than anyone around. To do all of this all you need is a little bit of it. Move quickly before, it does the last thing that it can, it stops.

                                          

Experience Douleur

Life is so perfect for some and just that much imperfection is there in the life of some other people. Life is so ironical. You don't know what can happen to you next and when that something happens, there is just about nothing left in your life. Absolutely nothing. We don't realise when the tables turn, and all the spotlight is on us. People do business, work hard and earn lots of monetary satisfaction, but if I would be willing to give up all that monetary satisfaction just for the well being of someone, people would call me a fool. This is what life is. You never know when, what you value the most, just becomes a thing of the past. You don't even think about the thing, which till a few moments ago mattered the most to you. This is what life can do to you. We can curse destiny for it, we can curse life for it. But the hardcore truth about life is that, the more good you do, the more exposed you are to sadness. Some people don't even have to experience any pain of  any sort and go on living, their lavish blissful life without even looking around to see that their share of sadness has actually surrounded someone else. And for those who are engulfed by that cloud of sorrow, they may never come out of it. But who cares. Absolutely no one. Till the time you are well and good, you are surrounded by a whole hoard of people chasing you, singing your praises. But in a split second it all turns into a pile of dust. And there is no use crying over this fact. Because life just goes on. In whatever manner, in whatever circumstance, it just goes on, throwing flowers at you or swords to pierce your heart and stones to break your stance, but then too it goes on, happy for some and well, otherwise for the rest. But please don't think that the former will succeed and love their life. Actually they are the most unfortunate ones as they haven't really experienced what life is!! They have never broken their cocoon to actually go out and fly whether to meet a breeze or a storm, that doesn't matter at least the latter flew, they flew with their wings spread, with their heart in the sky, flying with them, by their side. And they will be remembered they took the flight, the stride towards glory and their dreams. They took the flight and there is absolutely no doubt that yes they will, they will reach the top where the elite inexperienced lot will never step their foot. The others will conquer that mountain, they will sail that sea and reach the shore. They surely will.

Miss a moment

Times change and so do people

But how can they be so self centred

In the race to achieve the goals of their lives

They all just leave their friends behind

All that remains is broken promises and lies

And actually they don't even seem to mind

Life starts moving at such a pace that people don't wait to see where their companions, their friends go. They all are just so eager for success that they don't realise what they will do of this success, if they just stand alone at the end of the road. It all seems like a mess. Was life meant to be like this? Seriously? No. People make it this way. So all those loyal friends who didn't care to miss a heartbeat for their friends, let alone tuition's or classes, go on, because those who did not wait for you, they probably didn't deserve you at all. They never did. This is not to make friendship look like an obstacle in your journey to success and glory, but if you do care to know, then friendship can be the best motivation and support on this journey of yours. Sometimes it takes just a minute to prove that you care and sometimes even decades do no good. To all the friends, stop ignoring all your friends and take a minute out of your busy life and look around, you may just be all alone.

Waiting for happiness and its friends

It was only a moment ago

 

Everything perfect as it goes

 

Then why do things have to change

 

Like every season from sun to rain?

 

After every sway of the windowpane

 

There is an empty space beneath the pain

 

The place then is slowly taken

 

By sorrow and her lonely parents

 

Why do you have to go?

So early before even the season of snow 

Why don't you, happiness of some kind

Stand by me and reside

Somewhere where I can see you?

Somewhere where I can feel you?

And say that yes you are there

With your friend laughter, just waiting

For the right moment to follow me after

Many times in our life, we all just doesn't realise when the moment of bliss, the moment of joy ends. Why is it so? I wish knew. But I know everything happens for a reason but sometimes I wish I could decipher what that reason is. Actually not sometimes, a lot of times! But then too it is only the longing for happiness and not the pain from sorrow that makes us feel so empty, so lonely. So, we just wait for the sun to rise and for happiness to be by our side. And now too I sign off with the same patience and fortitude, waiting for happiness and its friends.

Perfecting imperfection

She bloomed in the garden

Where the sun never shone 

And never asked pardon

From people unknown 

For whatever she did

Was an expression of her heart

So why were people so eager

To tear her dreams apart

She was just born in a society

It was not a choice.

So why was it so essential

To give society a place in her

We all are so immersed in perfecting ourselves, looking beautiful, thinking about what people think about us. When we don't succeed in achieving these standards, we are sad and start cursing life and ourselves. Why me? Why can't I do it? Why can't I be as good as her? And then ultimately we end our day on a bad note, in a sad mood. So, why initially get into all of this mess. Why do we need to exert ourselves so much to please strangers? Why do we need to so badly be a part of society? Why is it so difficult to just stand out of society rather than going in?? This is not a moral advise but just something related to common sense. It is high time we realized this simple fact.
