How long does it take to succeed
How long does it take for tears to cease
Coming down my eyes involuntarily
How long does it take pains to go
How long does it take to achieve goals
Written boldly on the wall
How long before waking up doesn't
Make my heart skip
Or the nightmares with my eyes open
But then, who knows how long?

Believe me when I say
I don't want to die
I just want to sleep
A very deep sleep.

Ain't I myself hero?
Reflecting in my mirror
with a deep smile on my cracked lips
Remembering the pains I've survived.
Oh my darling me,
walked through black mud streets
in painful legs to school
In just flip flop slippers on,
Not a sock worn
Just visible scars
Left seen by eyes the way they are.
I've been called fat a million times
how many things I've got to fight,
the strangling thoughts of body shape
feeling ugly like a certain ape,
Today I laugh at such words
and when unpleasant words comes by
I laugh or smile through it all.
