The Forest

The mountains were quite, the morning sodden

The lake was dark, shadowed were the trees

The insects were asleep, waiting to be awaken

In a slumber were the animals, asleep were the bees

The birds asleep had filled the nests on the trees

Dark were the mountains, not a hint of shine in them,

The land too seemed, lifeless and dull

But then at last, it came

The mountains awakened first, with the virgin touch of glimmer

From behind them, to change the course, rose the extravagant sun

Thus began the rejoice, thus the birds began to flutter,

Thus the awakening dawned, the slumber disappeared

Myself

I shun my friends, whom I hang out with every single day

With myself I want to be today

I shun them and towards solitude I run

I sit alone, let the real me take over and stay

I shun the fake mask, at everybody which smiles

Even though it cannot take them anymore

I shun the tongue, which addresses politely, imparts gentle talks, tells lies

It wants to abuse everyone, insult, release the furore

I shun the eyes, which glimmer with happiness

And let the tears take over instead

I shun the light, which exposes me, makes me a vulnerable mess

And weep in the lovely, seclusive darkness.

So I shun the social creature, who tries to please each and everyone

I become the 17 year old, wanting to give some time to him self

I shun the friend, the classmate, the jolly, joking person

And today, I become myself

This day, someone up there, got happy at me

The heaven’s chimes sang a song

Earth’s wish was fulfilled, after so long

Somewhere, that day a light had shone

And the lady who I love the most, was born

My past deeds were awarded in best of ways

I was destined to the best of days

Because that lady, was the one

Who blessed me, by having me as her son

Holy Shit, The Bat Is Straight!

The bat sleeps upside down, I was said,

And also that my direction is the straight one

But I realized, holy shit, it’s the bat who's actually straight

Majority of you have this confusion, I reckon?

I indeed have to say, you are all wrong

If we are straight, why's everything upside down

Like suffers an honest man, man who works for hours long

While lavish people live with leisure, enjoy, doing everything wrong

The closest of friends, in hardest of times, hurt the most

The most trivial of things, have the greatest emotional cost

The smallest of wounds, give the biggest of pains,

The lightest clouds, bring down the heaviest rains

Writers, Writers

Writers, writers, with thoughts, they will build up castles

They will create fairy tales in hell, and live in them!

In their living room, with dragons, they fight the epic battles,

For a good book, they can give up all their money, and their fame!

Writers, writers, they will think anything, won’t hesitate to speak it out,

But only some of it, most of the times, their words don’t match up to their imagination

They appear calm and quiet, while their mind screams and shouts!

They stay stationary, while their mind has been orbiting all of god’s creation

Who's Better?

Yes they teased me, on and on,

They mocked me, and I was left alone,

Yes they humiliated me, caused my downfall,

But they aren’t bad people, after all!

Behind the mocking, is actually innocence hidden!

They don’t want to hurt me of course!

Is just their nature, they want to have some harmless fun,

It’s my problem, if I make I take it seriously and get hurt!

The world doesn’t revolve around me you know!

So what if others don’t know that I’m in sorrow,

Thousands of galaxies, lakhs of planets and uncountable organisms

Who am I to cry, who am I to give the tantrums!?

For Someone, You Are Everything. You Never Knew!

I was driving, a little too recklessly I guess

With a beer in my hand, the best!

I drifted away in some euphoria shortly,

And didn’t see the truck coming, it trashed me badly!

Nothing happened to me, I was safe and sound,

But the accident, in my life, opened up a new chapter,

I thought by nothing in the world, I was bound,

But fate opened my eyes, made me see clearer

Your life is much more precious than it seems to you

Because for someone, you are everything. You never knew!

It started with this little boy; I used to give him some money

Then we used to talk, laugh, interact casually,

He meant nothing to me, just some poor boy he was.

But when he heard about the accident, he brought me a rose!

He said he was petrified on hearing about the incident

Said he had been losing loved ones since forever, his families, friends

So when he heard, he went to the temple, with naked feet

And prayed, that this way, this little friendship of ours shouldn’t end

Someone you don’t even know, prays with his heart for you

Because for someone, you are everything. You never knew!
