I am in search of myself.
Tell me if you find even a glimpse

I am the confident one strutting in the sunshine.
Or am I the shadow lurking in the rims?

I am the sky engulfing all the emotions.
Or am I the weather yet another passing phase?
Mirroring the emotion of people around me,
An empty shell my inner pearl I chase.

Stop my traces from fading.
Stop me from changing again.
All I want is to feel something.
a chill, a thrill, but never mundane...

All I want is to search myself,
Before my identity is forever in eclipse.
Guide me how, guide me now or,
Tell me if you find even a glimpse.

Silence fell over the night
I let the tap of thoughts on.. And let them flow with all their might.

Cleansing the dirt or insecurities and complications of today.
Washing the back of the mind,
Hoping the old scars fade away..

Scrubbed some dark thoughts hidden in between.
Finally washed them down with the happy memories and ended my routine

My feet led me outdoor and I see you standing there...
My personal breath of fresh air.
You hold a cup of hope and fill mine with some too
Now I am warm and fuzzy, all thanks to you!

Gazing at the sky lacking moonlight
I wonder how I am still shining so bright
I tilt my head and look at you
Burning up to give me light
You stand there with a smile on your face
A falling star of my dark night...!

Hey my dear friend,

Why think so much let's just jump in the puddle.
Why are you letting the fear of perfection leave you muzzled

Why are you so angry let's cry out loud
Making those stupid **** jokes and PJs till our breath goes out

Why are you so tensed let's loosen you up
Let's dance like we are never going to see the sun

Why burden yourself so much with the relationships, fame, money, sign on checks using pen and pencil
Let's play flames on the back of the notebook
Finding space somehow between our autographs where the time stood still

Why are you so distanced even when one call away
Let's bring back the time...when with the land-line wires while talking we played

Let's grow together and not apart
Let's be happy and foolish
Let's always be a child at heart...

— The End —
