Turn into a baby again.
Roll over your torso.
When did we grow up?
What was the need to do so?
Turn into a baby again.
Roll over your torso.
When did we grow up?
What was the need to do so?
Stay a bit away from them
and watch them from a distance.
Notice the efforts that they will make then
and through them, in their life, your importance.
I cuff my ears
with headphones- big and small
and zone out from all
the world’s bustle.
I close my eyes
and can see you.
You haven’t met me uptil
now but many a times, I have met you.
It’s all a mess,
a state of unrest.
All try to give their best
because they know about the survival of the fittest.
A new city, a new state.
Heading off to a new place.
New people, new connections,
establishing new interim relations.
I can’t promise you anything. I can only try. I can try to be as honest as possible. I can try to make you feel happy and that special as I believe you are. I can try to be a member of your family and to make you a member of mine. I can try to ward off the negative in me so that it can’t affect your positive.
My father and brother never appreciate most of the work I do. My brother associates development with economy and father always wishes for the impossible. When it is about studies, he wishes I should score excellent marks in all the subjects. Being an above average student in academics, it’s not practically possible for my distracted mind and weak memory to concentrate equally and give the best results in everything I put my head into. I don’t possess academic but verbal or linguistic and musical or rhythmic intelligence among the ten types of intelligences explained by Howard Gardener.
It hurts a lot today
but would heal tomorrow
If you stop associating
it with pain and sorrow
