Life isn't going at a steady pace,
I feel now i am not even a part of the race.
Why is it that being around people makes you want to weep badly?
Why is that being alone also kills your sleep madly!
What fix is this, what kind of a gesture;
Do you want some reward or ask for an appropriate fixture.
Why do your feet tremble before walking towards any happy gathering,
Why do you fear the pain of everyone's bothering.
What chains have locked your mouth,
Why do you prefer north when everyone's in south?
Why are you running so far where no one can reach,
Which lesson most feared do you think life will teach?
Do you want to listen or do you want to be listened to?
Do you want to hide or do you want to be reached to?
Where are your feet going and what thoughts are your heart pumping?
Do you feel like preserving or would you just go for dumping?
How much will you dump? Who all will you lose?
How much have you got and how much can you choose?
Whom will you go to and who will come to you?
Who was your everything and who is none to you?
Where do you want to go and how do you want to live?
What do you want to take and what can you give?
What can you have and what can you let you go
What do you want to learn and how much do you even know?
What do know, what will be in your way!
How will things work and how much can you slay!
How far can you reach and how long will you survive?
For whom do you live and for whom do you strive?
Live, live for there's lots to come;
Hopefully lots to gain and to lose some.
Live for you have to witness victory yourself,
Live to see your name on the book of a prestigeous shelf.
