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
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
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
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?
Feel light and float better
grab each strand of positive energy
and fill the heart and body
and soul
Float free
I am so I
isn’t that what troubles you?
if I become you
won’t you still be troubled?
