My life?

Or everyone's life?

You mean the one 
That was given by parents
Before asking me 
If I wanted it?

You mean the one
Where religion was the basis
To decide on my birth ceremonies
When I had seen few days on Earth?

You mean the one
Where the Education System
Gets to decide 
Who you are before you 
And who am I before me?

You mean the one
In which society
Has more role to play
Than my dreams?

You mean the one
Which is dominated 
By circumstances and situations
Happening without my consent?

You mean the one 
Which is judged 
And commented on
Without my knowledge?

You mean the one
Where I have no idea
What is happening around me
Even after seeing?

You mean the one
Where death comes without invitation
And life leaves
Without prior notice?

Or do you mean 
That I am too fragile
To handle the truth,
And so you chose to tell me lies?

An intense grip!

Not having met you Never made me feel empty, But having met you Makes me feel weak, Not that I can't survive, But it's a struggle of not wanting to, A struggle of knowing All that should be known, And yet unable to Hold back from the unknown, A dying sense of urgency Although there is none in the vicinity, A profound feeling of having found A feeling so intense That it just couldn't be spent Even after exhausting every cent.

The Rising!

A tale of  inspiration, building upright, from the gallows of darkness and kingdom of fight, A burning desire to give proof, of abiding strength and courage and coup, An inner whirlwind, rising and falling, like a sand dune with its crests and troughs, magically building the foundation of faith and truth, Its outcome will be a proof in time of all things worthy and filled with chime.

A Recovering Heart!

Safe Is Just A Word!  It's safe to say I am fine , Till no one looks into my mind, For once you take a look closer, You won't think that I am sober, Silence is a language in itself, Something I discovered very late, I wish I had known that earlier, Maybe my peace wouldn't have to wait, What's bygone is okay, What remains is pretty, What it was is a mystery, But what it's becoming, Will surely be history, True love doesn't leave, Neither does it stay, It accommodates to a relationship, Till the people in it slay. Only If We Could See Things Coming! To see things coming Is a matter of luck, When you can't see On a human plane it sucks To remain prepared Is what we would want, To balance the present Might miss out on the round We fight, we clamor, We plead, we worry, We curse, we wish But after all this, We forget, That it's a lesson, Not to regret. You or Animals? The line between you and...
