When I was a kid
Trees were what I used to climb
Soon I stopped cause I grew up
I feel like i'm enslaved by the time

Used to steal my dad's pen
And get scolded for that mighty crime
Soon the scolding stopped cause I grew up
I feel like I'm enslaved by the time

I did not value the moments
I spent when I was a kid
I would go back to past
If in time I could skid
It's been over a year since I wrote the last poem. I'm not as good anymore, I'm rusted, but I could not let one thing fade away from my life that made me want to feel proud of myself. Poetry. It's not just chain of words, it's chain of powerful emotions and it is a therapy.

I was riding down the city
Thinking about the cars
Then i realized I've lost the moon
While looking for the stars
- Me on bicycle

To the hills touching sky
That look very high
To the dried up trees
Which are soon gonna die
To one who wanna give up
To one that shy
To all the hopes
That you've set very high
To one who are looking
The easy way out
Dont you ever
Want your success to shout?
Dont quit the race
Until you die
Be the winner
Not a ducky tie

To one who left
To one who failed
Dont you want
Your determination to be hailed?
You work hard
All your life
But when the time comes
You switch to knife.
What example
Do you set to your kids
You wanted something
But you quit  amidst!

To all the good days
To people who'll gaze
When you fail at times
They wont appraise
To the dream you chase
To the eyebrows you raise
To the hard work you do
That make that one person amaze
To the time you figure out ways
To one that has undying craze
The devotion is what you must have
Which turns you into flickering blaze

To the controversies that you carry
To the failures that look scary
Struggle is a pathway
To the success you wanna marry
To the goal you wanna achieve
To hurdles you have to deceive
When the path looks tough
In yourself you have to believe
Dont quit the game
Until you win
Triumph the impossible
Then flash a grin
No body said it would be easy. And if it were, don't you think everyone would do it?

We go to sleep
Wishing people sweet dream
From out there on the border
We don't hear your scream

We live near loved ones
But we do not really see
The sacrifices you make
To keep us all free

We never really cherish
The reason we can freely roam
Is because of never ending wait
Of your family to see you home

You don't take leave
Be it winter, spring or fall
In the shivering cold nights
You stand strong and tall.

While we enjoy the evening
Riding city on the bike
For nation, you play
The real life counter strike

You are the real superman
Even though you have son and bride
Fighting for the nation,
You die with pride.

For what you have done
Along with your crew
The nation shall never forget
We all salute you!
If i am sitting in my room writing poems in peace and if you sleep at night without worrying about tomorrow, it's cause of hundreds of thousands of true heroes, that spend days and nights to ensure we can.

Its been quite long
Since last i wrote
My passion's dying
And it hurts my throat!

"Time never stops"
I hate this this fact
It feels like, with struggle
I signed a pact!

Life has circled around
The assignments and class
When i look into mirror
I feel like a shattered glass.

I get defeated
I get down on my thighs
But no matter how hard it gets
Long will i rise!

I am working to be remembered
In history i want my name
Want kids to read the chapter
Of my journey to my fame!

Its not easy,
I never expected it either.
I can be a winner or a loser,
But i can't be neither

To decide to be a winner,
Is what must be done first.
Be determined enough to not quit
Even if it gets worst.

Every time i fail,
A part of me dies.
But with my determination
Long will i rise.
Don't watch the clock. Do what it does. Keep going. :)

Back when tigers used to smoke
When turtles used to run,
Life wasn't dread like this
It used to be much fun!

One night i had a dream
I was living in a fairy land,
Playing hide n seek all day
And making castles of sand.

As i recall the dream, i realise
It was childhood that i had
Each moment living life to the fullest
Not knowing what means Sad?

That attempt to find happiness
In the smallest of things ,
Willing to fly high in the sky
As dreams had the wings!

In the rainy monsoon noons
Having waters on roadside,
Used to make paper boats
And see them float with pride.

Recess bell when rang in school
We all rushed out with joy,
Laughed while watching cartoons
Cried when broke a toy.

This ocean of memories
It surely has no shore,
One thing always makes me cry
“if I had lived it a bit more!”
Thankyou for being involved in my small attempt towards becoming a poet. And any feedback or review is most welcome !!

Down on his knees again
He was looking at the sky
With painful journey he was on
It was hard for him not to cry
For he was a brave boy
But even he had a threshold for pain
With everyone around unsupportive
His bravery started to drain
But he didn't quit even though
He wanted so bad in his heart
Cause he knew for things to work out
Sometimes they need to fall apart.
He knew to get where he wanted
He had to put up a fight
For the real beauty of the sea is when its in dark
Not while it's under light
He stood up tall
Gazing back the sky
He whispered to himself
"It may hard, but i will rise high."
