The TASK

I am lagging, but I have a task in hand
Can i show this luxury, I am no harry with a magic wand 

This opportunity bestowed might be the last
Do I need to remind myself, that I need to act fast

The apprehensions of the unknown loom large
The fears of failure seem to barge

But why should I worry, I am thorough
The unwanted tensions, do I really need to borrow?

I fear.....The game is over, the whistle is blown,
Don't panic, the outcome will be bright.....you have earnestly sown

But, the pill of lax is pernicious...…I cannot further swallow
Brevity is wit, "do not wallow"

Lot of stakes, but was the risk worth?
ha ha ha bro, it's a dead end.....Now, you cannot go  back and forth

Rather, take the charge, and prune the weeds
Still daydreaming……you will curse your deeds

When the mind vacillates….I plea,... survivor, show me the halo
Did u say Halo....oh gosh.... cant u even feel your efforts are so  shallow

Bug up my friend, its time to stand tall
the time has come....the graffiti of your dreams should be on that wall

I am exhausted, can hear the heavy puff
But didn’t you know…..the ride would be rough

it’s the final lap…..here goes the gun shot....there's no time to think
The only verb in your lexicon should be "ACT "….., or you will sink

Loved ones say., this time, you will get it right
Yes, I am visualizing – I love the sight

What I have learnt, amidst so much pain
Resilience is the key to dig out the gain

I have persevered, I have fought
I could put at bay…….those dreary thoughts

With an indomitable spirit, I thump my chest
I could hear the musings of my son....….” BABA” you are the best.

The Worst Enemy

The worst enemy is fear

Shattering of your dreams....can u bear?

I don't know, but I fear

Try once, the film smeared on the core....can you not tear?

The outcome might not be good...I still fear

May be..but future is far....isn't the present near

I still fear, things might be in a mess

Yes, but then you can always redress

I still fear,  what if i fail

Might be, but then you w'll learn, how to sail

I still fear, the magnitude of failure

Mmmmm thats valid...but can you not hear the voice of  THE Saviour

I still fear, what if I am badly hit

True, you just learnt...you were not a fit

OK OK OK........so  answer me - Fear, how can I tame?

Remind yourself....if you cannot do a thing of your choice, can u live with shame?

Take Fear head on, its a must

And you w'll be happy to see, FEAR BITING THE DUST....

EMPTY.........

U gave troubles to me

I felt bad, but I feigned not to see

U got angry, and made things worse

I hanged on, but didn't curse

I didn't know, but did I cross the line of danger?

For there was UR bruised ego....and a strong smell of anger

I didn't bow, I didn't match
So U became venomous, planning to snatch

U took my father, u took my peace

I cried, wept....mourning on the miss

U wanted more, took my family back

I could hear your nasty whisper, make him an empty sac

Ur pot of venom is still full...U are planning more to gob

But, I w'll hang on.........for when I am empty, WHAT WILL U ROB????

Letter to "U"

Life is not a bed of roses, neither did I expect

Life became a crown of thorns, and then I lost respect

U make a person cry, who doesn't ask

I don't know why U give him the toughest task?

I see around, incapable guys scaling height......I ask WHY?

U make a passing remark.....”Because sky is high”

My capabilities, I start to doubt

U say introspection is good, but don’t shout

I keep myself composed, and try to bounce

U laugh at me.....luck is not by your side, not an ounce

Unfettered, I try to cling onto anything, losing all my vanity

U say, I cannot go far for U are the anchor of my sanity

I cannot fight anymore, exhausted, I fall and break my shin

U laugh, U giggle....from the corner of my sweaty eyes, I can see your impish grin.
