Why I Write
I try to describe my self,
To ascertain who I actually am.
To uplift the self,
I finally have to give a damn.
I always wished to pen,
Just didn’t know as to when,
And how to ascertain,
A shot that’s nowhere to end.
Wow! I am this,
Oh! Why don’t I know that!
Yipee! I have it,
Grrrr! Why can’t I try that.
I wanted to be free,
I wished I had a special she.
But all would be in a spree,
Once you get a money-tree.
But ain’t I got one in the yard,
So better I, now again, work hard,
Since that’s how I can make it that far,
To transform my life into a beautiful card.
Then I planned a lot,
But t’was the following that I did not.
Yet always I wanted to crack the pot,
On the first shot,
At the very spot.
What I forgot,
Was to plan a plot,
That targets a dot,
On the pot,
For the shot.
I dreamt of many a thing,
But ain’t I got nothing,
Wonder why???
Well that’s obvious unless you try.
Within I tried to inculcate,
The passion and spirit to fight.
But long did I wait,
The fire failed to ignite.
There were times when I cried,
Somehow wished someone by my side,
Off my heart, tears continued to slide,
But never I let them to my eye,
T’was then I realized,
For none wait the time and tide.
Life to some is a cage,
To some an empty page,
And to many, about wage,
But to me……it’s a big stage,
Where you got to perform,
With and all your form,
So as to leave a mark,
For the later age,
One that’s never to be erased.
In my note,
On every page,
I try to quote,
With all my rage,
In pursuit to control my age,
And free the self from all bondage.
So from everyone did I brush aside,
And finally chose to decide,
To get rid of my conflicting side,
Of my heart, I made a divide,
And individualized every side,
Then, finally, I chose to fly,
With a side,
That would get me high.
As such, I resolved,
Before life’s dissolved,
To use my reynold,
And get the self evolved.
Now a balloon I inflate,
With the smoke from fire that isn’t so bright,
But believe that’s enough for my initial flight,
Coz am …….determined to FIGHTTTT.
