The gift!

Always buried under books will you find me ,
Trying to build a better tomorrow,
A brighter future ,
I strive to be flawless!

I look at myself in the mirror ,
Trying to find a beautiful picture inside ,
I wish to reiterate to myself ,
That alone , i am enough
And nothing can dim the light ,
But instead , each time i end up asking myself ,
Why can’t I just quit?

I wish to jump down a building ,
Hang myself down the fan ,
Or end it all with the stroke of a knife ,
But there is something,
Somethin within , that holds me back!

A thought strikes my mind ,
Is it worth the end?
God sent me with an aim ,
A plan all set ,
He granted me with this gift of life .,
So dont i deserve, the gift of being me?

I am lost ,
Lost in a world where everyone runs behind success ,
Where everyone runs behind excellence,
Behind perfection,
Where everyone runs behind being whom they’re not ,
And in the rat race , i do too,
But dont i deserve the gift,
The gift of being me?

Aspirations from parents are very high ,
Be a doctor, be an engineer ,
Have a professional degree,
But what about the artist dying within me?
Don’t i deserve the gift ,
The gift of being me?

Lost is a lovely place to find yourself,
And I’ve set out for this journey ,
To revive my shattered dreams ,
To heal my wounded soul,
I’ve set out for this journey ,
To spread my wings ,
Seize my victories where they lie ,
To move forward for a dream only I can see ,
Ive set out ,
To be imperfectly , perfect!
I’ve set out , to be ME!

War

Too reluctant to wake up,
Too afraid of a new day ,
For who knows what lies ahead?
I see the scarlet stream flowing through the town ,
And the melodious chirping of birds taken over by the blasting of bombs,
The city , once filled with the laughter of children ,
Is now a dreaded place to enter.

Two strong people stuck in the middle of an argument,
Innocents losing life
Crying mother’s , crying families,
Who were actually the ones to bear the loss.
Economy of a country is declining,
Mental health being hampered,
Only because we humans ,
Prove to be each other’s biggest enemy!

I am insecure , about losing my loved ones ,
To accept the end , i am still not prepared,
I have dreams , i have aspirations ,
Before i leave ,
I have to instill peace.

We have the power to get out of it
But we need to have the courage to take a stand ,
Talk it through ,
Find a way ,
There is always one ,
Why indulge ourselves in the conflict ,
And become our own enemies?

To save us ,
To help us clear out this battle ,
To lead us into light , away from this darkness ,
I pray to him , to send an angel ,
But not in the form of a human.
