Fire Within

Difficult it is to explain each of the thing
Silence is a better way

Not easy to zero down what troubles you
Or who troubled you
Silence is a better option

Answers are not always served on your plate
Whilst cracking the nut you may hurt someone
Or self inflict an injury in the bargain
Here, silence is a better path

No one is here to solve your problems
People are either curious or may care as per their conditions
Hence silence is a necessary act

Never give other person the control of your life
Future is uncertain,
And the weight of regret is always heavy
Hence sometimes, silence is the only way

So keep digging till you reach the core
Channelise the fire within where it is needed more
For being silent, doesn't mean just being idle On the shore

Walk On

Not all can understand your reality
Let it be

Not all will be comfortable with your actions
Don't try to please everybody

Like you, everyone is fighting a battle of their own
Always be aware of it

Some days may just pass, while sometimes
Even few moments may feel they'll everlast
Live through it

Hope might not be a right thing to suggest
For someone who is hanging above a deep valley
Still, hold on to it

Sometimes, one battle decides the fate of the war
This may be it

No one will understand your struggle
So wear a smile and keep walking on

Heartbreak

Just when I thought it was my time
Fate turned the tide

Ship was about the reach the shore
And suddenly the wind swept it aside

Heart was about to glide in the sky
When someone burst the balloon

At least hoped the landing will be safe
But the fire of the parachute went cold and dry

Love was ringing the bells in front of my eyes
24 by 7
But when the defining moment came
It got pierced in the middle, never to heal again

Just when things were feeling like falling in place
The entire castle came down in the blink of an eye

House of Cards

Such is life these days
Like a house of cards
One blow of wind
And everything falls apart

So much we feel
We are in control of things
When actually we are just
Moving with the wind

Such is our view
That we feel we are on the right path
One blow of darkness
Even our shadows leaves us, lonely in the dark

Even a small victory
We celebrate with great pomp
But that noise is actually for that victory
Or to suppress those voices, that we choose to keep unheard of
Not that I can be sure about

I don't know in what I am doing
Whether I am right or wrong.
Taking one moment at a time
But sometimes just that one prick
And the entire balloon bursts apart

Every step is taken with caution
To not spoil or ruin of what is still left
But such is life these days
Like a house of cards
One blow of wind
And everything falls apart

The Paradoxical Climb

Lot many questions play in my mind
But I wasn't sure how to zero it down
To explain them in one line

I have been in search of it for quite sometime
But in vain, with each new find

Maybe to an extent, I may have found
A night before I am going to burn my ass off
I feel I can explain it in One Line now

What is Marriage?

When you read it, it appears
A mere question for the crowd
But, truly, a nightmare for the sane lot

Though if you ask me today, I will say
Marriage: A Paradoxical Climb

For what you may perceive as End
Will actually be a new Beginning

Coz the beginning is initiated after yesterday's end
And todays end will be tomorrow's beginning

Every step you take to reach a destination
Turns out to be just the next step
For a new journey

Every day is a new day, a new climb
Which you have to make

And when you retire at the EOD, beneath the starry skies
It's actually a warm-up, for the next climb

So if someone is promising you a rosy future
Trust me, it's a white lie

For they haven't thought it through, of the micro pebbles
That later may turn into a landslide

None can be sure what the end will look like
But the exploring part, that's where the beauty lies

Intentions is all that matters to stick together
When things will be dry
Coz in the highs, even an unknown will come
And give you a high-five

A parallel support is all you need, to walk hand in hand
And not a pole, to hold upon and support your clan

Respecting your No's by allowing that space
To ensure your own identity thrives
And not someone who'll want to subsume your "I"

For the story isn't nice coz the end is going to be happy
It is nice, coz the characters in it had the ability
To make you smile

PS: Though the rail tracks (Above metaphor) are parallel always. But there does come an intersection point, if you know what I mean 😉

Getting Lost, To Be Found

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From all this chaos

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From this life of merely
Breathing In and Breathing Out

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From all the unnecessary questions
I am forced to talk on

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From people, who I can't hurt
But sometimes, I cant take them along

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From happening of predictable events
Where we are forced to act surprised in and out

Sometimes I wish to runaway
From these masked people
Who act as if they care a lot

Sometimes I wish to runaway
To see who will try and track me down

Or sometimes I wish to runaway
To ensure no one ever finds the path
I treaded upon

Difficult it is, actually, to zero it down
For the list of reasons to run away
Might turn out to be a mile long

I guess, sometimes I just wish to runaway
Only to be found

You Are The Reason

Everything happens for a reason
You make up afterwards

How we always feel it was planned
But choose to ignore that only we did it

It won't move until we move
But we pin it on a Superpower
That the wheels were already in motion

It is what we do that defines us
Not what you can be or what you are beneath

Each setback if it leads to introspection
Then the process to carve a new path
Has already begun

It is essential to stay humble in success
Coz success and respect don't come together
They are mutually exclusive

But in the dark corners of the room
Where you cried once when chips were down
Do pat yourself, for your own efforts

Pain

Pain is the new breather
Pain is soothing

Coz until we aren't in pain
We allow our body to drain

No matter how much we gain
We will still be left with something to attain

No Pain No Gain, agreed
But to what extent, we fail to ascertain

Outside pain, still, it can be restrained
But when it hits from the inside
That's when it is difficult to be contained

How far we go, hurting people in the lane
We don't realise until we are left alone in pain

Knock Knock

Why being alone isn't acceptable
Sometimes it can be out of choice too

Why being in a company, only, makes people feel better
What guarantee does it have, that the company is happy
Many a times it is forced upon or obligatory

Why is it necessary to invade someone's personal space
Is it to gain a moral victory, of not leaving someone alone?

Each one has their own battles to fight
Everyone have their own way to deal with their plight

What right do we have to intervene in that process
Is it necessary to be a Messiah in everyone's distress?

Self Introspection, you need to be alone
To decide upon a situation, one needs to be alone
Sorting out the life's puzzle, you need to be alone
Clearing the air on your beliefs, one needs to be alone

Among the many, I mentioned a few of them above
So atleast next time when you see someone alone
Make sure you knock, instead of barging from the back door

PS: Even to write, you have to be alone.

Master of Self

Keep walking, chart your own path
No one is going to alter their course for you

Only you can be excited about your life
Rest all will have limitations, to the extent they can bear you

Being together or surrounded by people, is merely a state of mind
As even Alone is a great company to have many a times

Keep believing in yourself, Keep your Dreams alive
Others will ask you to change per their comforts

Only you know your strengths and weaknesses
Set your own targets, don't get intimidated by others goals

Day you accept you are your only competitor
No one will ever be able to hold you back

And Most Important...

In the journey, always remember to breathe
Take a step back and relax or be a couch potato

Just to remind ourselves
That we are humans, not machines

Like other people can't drive our lives
So should not some timetable or hands of clock

Be the Master of your own life
For that is the only thing that is your OWN
From your First Breath, until the Last.
