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 my birth ceremonies
When I had seen few days on Earth ?

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

Or do you mean 
That I am too fragile
To handle the truth
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.

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's it's a lesson, Not to regret. You or Animals ? The line between...

Mistakes.

A question has been Haunting me Of rights and wrongs, Asking me with bland eyes To figure out the wants, I held to this thought For very long, Having been taught That lesser the mistakes Better the stakes, What I seem to have learnt Is that the more the score Of your mistakes The greater the chances Of knowing what it takes, The lesser you commit mistakes The fewer the opportunities And smaller the gates.
