To unconditionally love or unapologetically hate To tenaciously try or to accept fate To stand still and fight or to simply walk away To pave a new path or to choose the most used way To speak up my words out or mask up with a smile To be contented with my journey or walk an extra mile To loop over regrets or to trust the decisions To be a rebel or to follow the traditions To please the people or to speak out loud To lead the people or to follow the crowd To retain one's self or to adapt to change To give it all away or to expect something in exchange Between making a choice and leaving it up to the time All I chose is to write a Rhyme
Somewhere between being held and holding on,
I was writing down my desires to fly.
Somewhere between fighting for and letting go,
I was contemplating my power to try.
Somewhere between breaking down and staying strong,
I was reconsidering my reasons to cry.
Somewhere between longing to climb and craving to rest,
I was filling myself with the regrets of the days that passed by.
Somewhere between wanting to do all that I ever wanted to and accepting my inability to undo what I had done,
I reached my time to die.
I never wanted another chance to live my life in a different way,
for, I still had no answer for the question "WHY?"!
It was with you I learned memories could also be the unreal realities I always rooted for years,
A smile could also be a subtle representation of pain that couldn't be expressed enough with tears.
With you, any conversation could be an infinite pause and unbroken silence,
Hurting could also be so soft and far from any form of violence.
You flowed through all of my scars and wounds that I had to earn,
Making each one of those into a lesson and made me learn.
Every time I ran away from reality I came closer to you,
I knew our bond was always too good to be true.
Dear self, no matter what I made you go through,
You always stayed for me to keep loving you.
Through all these lines I may sound self-obsessed or insane,
But it is this insanity that gives me the power to start my day all again.
A deprived past was my nonstopping thirst’s seed
Maybe I couldn't differentiate between need and greed
I wanted to fly so high so thno one could ever reach me
In return, the pain of loneliness was all time had to teach me
There were chances I wanted to take
There were choices I wanted to make
My only fear was, what if things don’t turn the way I wanted it to be
And then there were those smiles I fake
Putting my own happiness at stake
Hoping that it was not all that I ever had to see
I dreamt so long that I had no time to live
A bald head and lost sight was all that time had to give
If I could count all the days I truly smiled
It could hardly cross a hundred
And now I am just sorry to all the pages of my life
that remains unread
I wish
I could carve your eyes
Out of that perfectly shaped face
Safely protect it forever in a golden case
Look at it every time I feel low
Feel the spark that gets me go
Cherish it's presence every second
And poccess it with pride
Till the very end
But then I realise,
Your eyes without your smile
Is just like an empty Nyle
How ever big and large it
The current in it is always a miss
Beauty shouldn't be pocessed just admired
And so will I do to your soul high and fired
