It’s funny how things go
Sometimes
You write that you don’t know
In rhymes
A decision like do or die
A decision like crash or fly
But when you do, you might crash
And when you fly, you might die

I was intertwined
Woven into the vines
Of doubt
And the worst thing was
I no longer wanted out

Trapped like a fly
In a web of lies
That I myself had stitched
And the worst thing was
I didn’t know which was which

Lie or truth
Die or do
Shy or brash
Fly or crash
Could you tell me which one’s better?
Because I didn’t think I’d ever
Know
No,
No, never

And the funny part is!
The decision’s been made for me
And it’s just now that I see
The vines around me crumble
As the ground I stand on rumbles,
With the sound of understanding
The same ground which my mind was
standing

And the funny part is!
I realize the truth now
The one I’d always known
As the spider webs untangled
And dropped me, beat and mangled
In the orchard of mindful prying
Dropped an apple on the hammock
in which my mind was lying

I start to raise my voice
“stop, I’ve made my choice!”
Wave my arms around
As they finally lie unbound

It can’t be too late…

Even though I took too long
I know I took to long-
ing
For the lyrics of a song
Or the lines of a poem
To give me a sign
But I’ve made up my own mind
I want you to be mine

Good things come to those who wait
But great things come to those who make it happen

With tired eyes I see things clearly now, trust me I'm for certain. Its not about how far you get by another's standards,  that has any real importance. Life is to be or not to be, it's your choice to continue on or call it curtains.  Just follow your own path, and let your decisions provide your purpose.

Decide something
Decide for once
Once decided, then don't look back
Go for it.

No point in it
There is no point in discussing over something, which has been decided prior.
Agreed that it won't be possible to give your best initially in the first instance itself, however, something is always better than nothing.

What's the harm, if better is achieved initially in the first instance itself
At least you will know and understand where you stand
So forget the rest and go for what has been decided prior.

Give your best,
think of the best,
definitely you will achieve better,
if not the best.

So before getting anything done, it's always better to decide first.

Decide something
Decide for once
Once decided, then don't look back
Go for it.

Step by step one step at a time
One by one, one step at a time
Whether you are climbing up a flight of stairs
Even while climing down a flight of stairs
Always better to keep in mind and also follow the same
Always take one step at a time.

Decide first what needs to be done and then decide what needs to be done to get done what's decided first.
Definitely priorities come first
So always better to start with the topmost priority,
followed by the next and then so on and so forth.

Nature of things definitely matter, but what matters more is how to get the things done.
Keeping this in mind and with this as an aim,
it's always better to set priorities and follow the same.
Always better to take one step at a time, followed by the next and then move on further.

One private world to live in,
One private thought to sink in,
One private dream to sleep in,
One private word to keep in.

Because one, yes just one,
most of the time it will be just one.
An I, You or Thy, but yes just one.

He was just an arrangement of 1s and 0s
which manifested itself into a body
on the other side of the planet

There were a three times
that he was right beside me
despite him not being there at all

First, he sat on the side of my bed
struck by a drunken haze
when he told me he loved me

Second, he came out of my closet
to keep me from crying
when I thought I lost him

And third, appeared right beside me
when I was walking back home
while the sun was wiping my tears.

I touched him on his shoulder
then he whispered
"I don't know who you are
We have never known each other."

I never regretted anything more  in my life
than that night you asked me to go on a date
two days before you decided
that your love was meant for someone else.
