It’s Not the End Yet
You think I am broken
You treat me like dust
I might have lost this bet
But it’s not the end – Yet!
I have lost a hundred times,
And I have fallen countless
Though with Scars I am beset
It’s not the end – Yet!
I will rise a million times,
I will shine and I will win
Just because I lost one bet,
It’s not the end – Not Yet!

Wake up! Shower! Get dressed!
Tired? Do it nonetheless!
No time for breakfast?
You got to adjust!
Trudge to work,
While you go berserk!
Work all day
Else they won’t pay!
Trudge home and Go to bed.
I can see you nodding your head!
Losing sleep over work,
On weekends too!
Chasing the deadlines!
Tasks overdue!
Do you feel like stuck in a rut?
Is the routine driving you nuts!
Often hear the bosses say:
“I need this urgently by today!”
Boss calls you more than wife,
Don’t be furious, He got no life!
Hey You! Aren’t you done yet?
Are you still breaking your neck?
Month after month
For the paycheck!
Do something you love,
For once, Live your life!
For your sake,
You must prioritize!
Reading this while slogging away?
Now off you go…its a working day!

GREY
I am stuck within the contours of extremism,
I am drowning in a sea of judgements,
I am black and white
I cannot be grey!
I defend myself with passivity or aggression
I am sailing in a sea of always or never,
I might be right, I might be wrong
But I cannot be grey!
I can surrender like a wind
I can resist like a tree,
I can be ordinary or exceptional
But I cannot be grey!
You call me bipolar, you can call me insane,
I care too much or I don’t care at all,
I am either obsessed or detached
I can be anything but grey!
I am not a television to be remote controlled,
I am not clay which you can mould,
I am too impulsive or too patient,
I am not grey!
I can annoy you with endless conversations,
I can burn you with silence,
I can suffocate you with love,
I can kill you with indifference,
I want everything or I want nothing
I just cannot be grey!

It’s Worth It
I want to fill this day, up to the brim
Work, work, till my bones ache,
Throughout this day, active and awake!
Work, work, till my bones ache,
Throughout this day, active and awake!
Want to do everything and do it now,
Do whatever can be done,
Pass my responsibilities to none!
Do whatever can be done,
Pass my responsibilities to none!
Want to drink life to the bitterest dregs
Be crazy, Be weird, Be “ME”,
To feel, to explore, to live, to see!
Be crazy, Be weird, Be “ME”,
To feel, to explore, to live, to see!
Want to laugh like the hyena,
Want a lifetime in every breath,
A sleep like temporary death!
Want a lifetime in every breath,
A sleep like temporary death!
I am running but this world is faster,
Damn, I am too slow in this race,
I am running my best but can keep no pace!
Damn, I am too slow in this race,
I am running my best but can keep no pace!
At night, when I lie down,
All this pain is so satisfying,
Whether I win or lose this game,
I know for sure that it was worth trying!
All this pain is so satisfying,
Whether I win or lose this game,
I know for sure that it was worth trying!
