Vague

Somewhere deep

the fear clamours

to be set free

but vague is the shield

to hide behind

see that’s what is art

and the poetry

not a gift of gab

but just a sheer veil

that hides the face of fear

Inertia

Shine and rise

while the sun shines

while the fingers tap the keyboard

and give out that dearest sound

while the pulse races

and the brain weaves the stories of hope

while the adrenaline still gets to flow

Being normal

Conformity is a major building block of the giant superstructure of Normal. Normal keeps the engines of the human structures of society, culture and politics, oiled and running. Those who stick their necks out and decide to create their own path and walk or even better, sprint on it, are not ‘normal’. On the other hand, conformity is the way to go for the most because it ensures survival. The jagged edges of exceptional do not bruise their inner child, who is scared as it is. Fear ensures conformity and courage challenges it. Courage leads to extreme successes and failures and many times failures are the stepping stones for success and vice- versa. Success is like walking a rope above the ocean of conformity. This is so because, success thrives on exceptions and challenges. Success needs its own path. Do you still want to be normal?

Light

Feel light and float better

grab each strand of positive energy

and fill the heart and body

and soul

Float free

I

I am so I

isn’t that what troubles you?

if I become you

won’t you still be troubled?
