Tomorrow never comes
Don't trust tomorrow
Try banking on today
Tomorrow's a relative term
The phrase
"I'll do it tomorrow"
Is a blatant lie
Tomorrow never comes
It's all about today
;
Yesterday was history
Tomorrow is a mystery
But today
Today is a gift
That's why it's called
Present
Rahul Luthra Jul 2018
Home could be a place
Home could be a person
It may take years
For someone
To truly find
Something
That they can call home
You may live in a mansion
But who knows
The man who sleeps outside
On the bench every night
May feel more at home
Than you may ever
In your fortress
Of solitude
Rahul Luthra Jul 2018
Why don't you talk to me anymore
Remember when we were best friends
Remember when no future
Would be complete
Without you or me
Do you even think about it
About the good times
Do they overshadow the bad times
Or were my mistakes
So bad
Do you even miss me
Do you miss us
And the time we spent together
We were meant to last an eternity
We were supposed to be indestructible
But I ******* it all up
Didn't I?
And now
You won't even look at me
As a friend
Because I messed up so bad
I'd give anything to go back
In time
But that's not how it works
I wish
That was how it worked
Do you even remember me
I doubt you do
I just wish you're happy
I just wish he's keeping you happier
Than I thought I would
Just be happy
I wish I was him
;
'I might find someone'
That's what people say
'I'll get over you'
That's what people say
'I'll get better'
Is what people still say
They say:
"You've started from the bottom
Now you're here"
But I'm still at the bottom though
Can't you see me tears
Rahul Luthra Jul 2018
Everybody knows it
But no one cares
The world as we know it
Is ******
Maybe you can help out
But to be honest
How many can you help
Everyone's out for themselves
No one gives a ****
About the poor
Who knock on your window
The world is beyond ******
You don't want to believe it
But deep inside
You know it's true
So maybe
If you do want to help
If you do think
That you can make a difference
Just give someone a reason
To smile
Rahul Luthra Jul 2018
I don't know about destiny, or fate
I don't know if these things are real
Or just a fairytale
To make people believe
When they may have no reason to
To give strength to those
Who may have lost all hope
I don't know if there's a God
Or if this is all a simulation
If it's all a pre planned game
Or just some absurd coincidence
But there must be some reason
For the existence of all that we see
There must be some form of energy
that gets to decide
Of
What is, and what should never be
Rahul Luthra Jul 2018
Now you may know the question
But that does not necessarily mean
That you have an answer
Even though you may think:
" What the **** kind of question is
'Am i happy?' "
Think again
The answer might surprise you
It may catch you off guard
It may ruin, or make your day
I'm not trying to sadden you
I'm just asking you
To actually sit and think
About what might be the complexities
In answering such a simple,
but weird question
For those who already know the answers
And are content with the result:
'Are you trying harder
Or have you given up?'
To those who don't know:
'Do you know now?
Or are you confused'
It's okay to not know
But it's not okay to not act
You may hear, day in and day out:
"Do this for me,
Do that for me"
But when was the last time
Did that voice resonate
From your heart
;
Everyone dies one day
Nothing is permanent
Time has made sure of that
So make sure that before you go
You are able to answer the aforesaid question
In an affirmative
Not because I asked you to
Not for anyone else
But, for yourself
Refer to previous part of poem (The question - Part 1)
Rahul Luthra Jul 2018
Do you have that one person
Whom you trust more than yourself
Mostly because they don't let you
make those ******* decisions
That you'll make later on anyway
But at least they try
That one person
Who is referred to in Grey's Anatomy
As "my person"
That one person who may not be
On your friend list on Facebook
But is closer to you than any of
those 1220 unknown people
who's pictures you like
I hope you have that person in your life
For no matter what trouble you're in
No matter how stressed or angry or depressed you are
They take equal share in those emotions
And even help you out of it
To those who may not have that person
I hope you find them
The term soulmates are romanticized
for no rhyme or reason
That should be for you to decide
Not society
So,
If you hadn't thought of this before
Do you know now at least
Who could be your person?
