To Live Just For Me
How many more nights must I endure
With wells of salty watery tears filling my eyes
With words of hate storming my ears
With smells of anger going through my nose
With a bolus of agony sinking down my throat?
I have come a long way, keeping it all aside;
Focusing on the one goal that lies ahead
The goal I set way back when I was a toddler
Saying to myself that my heart was made of iron
Iron vanished that it would never rust,
Neither in the presence of requirements nor in their absence
I have been think about how and when to give up
To lock myself in exile with ears closed and eyes as well
To take a brief break from home and work and life
Till,a day comes,when I'll see my breakthrough
But I remembered how I need people,
Who I want to run away from.
I'm still thinking about it, and I want to stop thinking about it
To learn how to let go and welcome peace
To hold on till the new dawn gets here,
To live for just one person here on earth
To live just for me.
