WHEN YOU WANT
When you want to utter,
but then you stutter.
When you want to fly,
but then  sometimes you cry.
It's time you need a retrospection
And find your own self-reflection.

When you want to see the future,
but past is what you nurture.
When you want to speak,
but then sometimes you freak.
It's time you need to question yourself
Where the book of my life is lying in the shelf?

When you want to see the light,
but brightness is what makes you fright.
When you want to feel the air,
but storm is what you fear.
It's time you break your cage
And gleam on this beautiful life's stage.

When you want to find your spot,
but somewhere in the crowd you are lost.
When you want to hear the words of admiration,
but  sometimes you dread the criticism.
It's time you take the risk
And go for actions which are brisk.

When you want to break the barrier,
but then your life becomes wearier.
When you want to shine,
but then sometimes you whine.
It's time you don't remain silent
And stand out to show your talent.
