Race For Dreams
“My dreams are questioned
My very existence thought about
I also couldn’t stand in past
Crawling in present
Cant even think of future”
“why not, the world is changing?
Every bird has learned
Its direction of flight
Still you think that you cant
Build a simple castle of your dreams”
“35 years, is my age
Even if i start today
I cant ever run in the race
I imagined to hold the Tirangaa
And run on the rampant track
Olympic circles become my bangles
And you talk about success”
the words of my daughter
Stuck in my head
It became a cause of pain
Breaking through my believes
I picked the skipping rope
The joy of youth returns
20 push ups a day
The race with the train
I lost each day
But build another me
I stood up
Finally on the track
I’ll put forward my heart
To win this race
Its my only way, last chance
To the destination of my life
I ran, ran on the line of my life
Every step, i came closer to the line
So close i was
But my eyes shut
I collapsed, to never rising again
But that time i felt
I died the death of a free bird
Not a lion roaring behind the bars
