Almost Great
Death is just a 100 meters away
And if it hits me
There'll remain alot for me to say
I don't know how much i could fit in this poem
But somewhat, it goes this way
Life was almost great
Almost
When it comes to life
Its supposed to be ups and downs
Its supposed to be hard
Full of and crowns
There came sad and happiness un-announced
Made friends who were white and black
But mostly browns
Some of them so crazy
I was deeply astound
But good people kept coming along
Some of them stood by me strong
Alot of them dread me somehow
Maybe coz I've always been an honest dick
Never faked, spoke the truth, which made them sick
But i don't blame them
This society is the one who have framed them
To live in its frame work of compliance
Any daviation is called annoyance
But remember my friend, you gotta be buoyant
Yeah I loved too
I loved my parents first and also friends
And yeah there was a girl too
Maybe she loved me back
Or maybe not, I don't know that
Coz that love wasn't simple
A magicians hat
Could never guess what was in it
And maybe i will die wondering
Will she ever fights for it, like i did
Or will just keep dreaming it
It won't matter if i die
Because i don't believe in afterlife
I ain't that guy
Who would want to peep from heaven or hell
To see if they come on my grave
To say that they loved me from their deepest cave
But it won't matter when i die
Coz i would have been so happy
to hear those words when i was alive
When i was lonelyy and hated myself
Yeah i have been down alot
My heart was an empty jail
But thats life
Ups and downs
Full of s and crowns
But one thing i did
made me proud
I jumped out of employee crowd
Tried to find my dream somehow
Define my path around
Didn't comply in the end
Took that leap instead
So there is no regret
That i take with me
my mindsets great
and my hearts with me
Now its upto fate
If reunite my dreams
Or will i die await
But life has been almost great
