Why blame me for everything
When even the breathe I live by
Is not mine to keep or throw
And thus who am I to make you glow?
Just a dust particle I am in this universe
Blown here and there by the same wind
By which we all breathe to sustain the life
And in this uncertainty what happiness you crave from me?
Escaping the routines of life
I dance little different steps
To try a rhythm different and new
So my boredom won’t renew
In search I always remain helpless
So, nothing will come from me to help you.
A traveler traversing the road not taken
Everything is but a new experience sans explanation
I just get on it and let myself be engrossed in it
And, how can I explain everything me to you?
Like the boat that sails a lonely river
My life takes the twists across the turbulent mind
Sometimes everything is nothing but pleasure,
Yet, who am I to teach you about life
When in pain I too whine?
Somehow the clouds passed by
Leaving the wet trails behind
You would have understood me
Had you waited,
But sometimes history hides well
Beyond which memories can’t reach.
Now you are gone
To whom shall I tell
all these and more?
