And Thus
Thus the gigantic persuasion has begun.
This burden I’m bearing which no one can see
A price paid for nonchalance
My improper standards, verses and words
They stand out everywhere except in a world of Her’s
Thus the gigantic howls and screams began
They blamed and scorned
For being playful, for enjoying this part of my life
She compared with people who even she didn’t know
And she calls it tension. For what’s beneath the fate’s brow
Thus the gigantic shatter of hopes began
Something inside me snapped.
I too, began blaming myself
For being incompetent and being someone they don’t like.
I snapped, I gaped and I acted normal. Next day with spunk and spike
Thus the leisure time became a curse
I found it hard to exhale, hard to smile
Longing to see a blue cloudless sky or a starry night
I prayed every day but I started losing faith
Maybe I was foolish, I thought I took the bait but not, I became the bait
Thus time passed by and everyone moved on
Except for them and me.
I longed to breathe like a human but fate traversed
During the hot monsoon days, I felt my feet get cold
Yet I smiled, I breathed, I died and my undaunted fears shall never unfold.
