People around her converse of cricket
And she sat there twisting her locket
In the corner of the classroom - the mystic girl with a pen
Wandering deeper and deeper into her own exclusive den.
Kept dreaming her dreams the entire last night
Even sleep failed to overpower their might
Imagining her future in all its glory and joy
Jumping over one after another the world's deceiving decoys.
She lives in her own mind
So easy it is to be there - she doesn't have to hide
Her dreams, her reality, her own self
Where no one tries to drown the symphony of her passion with the gong of their bell.
She wonders why people chase wealth so madly
Why does their story gets judged by their money
Why is their passion scorned upon if its not conventional
Why does this society expect every decision to be rational?
They talk of living life, chasing dreams, for the right putting up a fight
They highlight madness like its the best proof they're alive
Yet a single streak of madness gets buried so deep inside
That all you hear is its faint cry to escape those binds.
They work for the system, afraid to make the system work for them
The root gets weak yet they hope for a fruitful stem
They expect to swim in the ocean of happiness when a drop barely reaches their hem.
Why do they stuff everyone in their 'ideal mould'
Dream of a happy world with such unhappy practices - how can they thus be fooled
So hear this call from a passionate heart
Don't even think of trying to tear my dream apart.
Quote : When the world told me you can't, I made that itself my inspiration, and accomplished my goal.
Heya readers. So MYSTERY OF POETRY is completing a half-century with this poem. It's been a journey both for me and for you and a splendid one too, if you ask me. While everyone's appreciation helped me throughout, these people were there right from the scratch ~
