By My Side
Ruffled for starters, confusion on the rocks
a colloquy for beginners as scattered as blocks
the more you think, the more you think more
away from yourself you weaken your core
Nothing was taught, they calculated it all
thrown from a cliff: not expected to fall!
a sign or an indicator would have sufficed
I wish there was somebody by my side
Words were flowers, I played with petal
like a plant you hold inside a nubilous metal
confidence reflected with replete pride
I wish there was somebody by my side
Qualities were belittled, expectations on list
I shook hand; they used fist!
smile was applauded; silence when I cried
I wish there was somebody by my side
A life of pain brought happiness surprise
an amazing new world reflected me wise
moment of truth stayed shallow and wide
I wish there was somebody by my side
Words were choked, feeling subsided
nothing got touch what’s already resided
I hankered them to see what’s inside
I wish there was somebody by my side
They went small, elevate to the big
looking for reality in a bald man’s wig
I then growled for things I abide
In a hope to get somebody by my side
The energy I gained, I realized, I had
I kept smiling closest to sad,
for a joyful life wherever I reside
just a few hands I ask by my side
