Dead Life
Why is everything so silent?
It's not dark yet!
I can see a lamp out there...
Oh! Now even that's wet.

Ouch!! Something is paining
But I can't find any marks.
And this smell of kindness burning,
Ah! I guess it's my heart smouldering with no sparks.

Take a deep breath
Inhale air and feel good.
But wait, Asking someone to do impossible...
Isn't that rude?!

You say I should keep patience,
Things meant for me will come my way.
Then what is it that I have been keeping since past 17 years,
Coz I still have nothing that makes me feel gay.

Did you hear that noise?
No! There are no furious men outside.
Rather it was my inner war,
With my 'Love' screaming from it's hide.
But, I know they will find him,
Torture him beyond it's critical concentration.
Things won't end there,
They will surely drain out all purity out of my nation.

In the bucket of my heart,
People see the mirage of poison,
Which they are afraid,
They won't be able to survive.
But what they don't know is
There is nothing here left for them to dive.

I kept searching for something that's mine,
Many good things passed by.
God! Did you forget to keep things out there for me?
Because after all this time I can only cry.

Oh My God! Look who's here!!
Hey happiness! I guess I took an appointment from you.
Don't tell me.. I have been fooled
It was 'Sorrow' I was talking to.

So I never knew what happy meant,
It was sorrow who took my soul for rent.

Hey wait!! Please don't go!
'Happiness, Will you please help me survive?'.
She came near, held my hand, looked in my eyes, smiled
Said, "I wish you were still ALIVE "
