Dream Dead

And slowly it unfolds. You see how its going to be. You see where all this is leading. You see your life infront of you. Everyday like the previous day. Every night like the previous night. You see days and days and no end to it. You dont see the end, because you are looking for it. The end eludes you.

You hear the sound of a hundred dreams shatter. The sound is deafening and gives you a throbbing headache but you keep your head high. You give up all hope but you dont cry. The world is watching, you cant afford too.

So you go on. Swallow the pain and move on. Resign to fate, the way others want it. Resign to the outcome of decisions that someone else took. You let them. The mistake you will always pay for.

And then they want you to excel. Excel at something you dont want to do. Achieve something you dont want to achieve. Be someone who is not you. And smile while doing it. Pretend to be happy or else they ll ask you why you aint smiling.

So dont let them know how weak you are, smile. Maybe it wont be so bad...maybe you can find a way to be happy..maybe...

Narcissism or just me?

I search for stars in the mumbai sky.
I cry when i see an animal in pain.
I wonder what did i do right to be on this side of the glass,
when i see the poor girl on the other side of my car window.
I wonder whats the old homeless woman's story.
I wonder would the trees ever saw us if they had a chance.
I wonder if there exists another earth where animals florish
and humans are on the verge of extinction.
I am a dreamer and my dream grows everyday.
I believe someday the world will be a better place.
I believe someday everyone will have equal rights.
I believe it wont be a big deal someday
if a dark skinned becomes the leader of fair skinned men.
I believe someday animals and humans will co-exist.
I believe someday the rain-forest will not be notebooks.
I believe someday a family will celebrate when a girl is born.
I believe someday humans will be humans.
i believe i can make a difference.
And nothing can change my belief.
