I learnt to live that night!

Struggles, success, rise, falls,

Life is full of such imposters,

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry,

Ar times life's a boon, but at times it's even a curse...

Standing on the ground we want to touch the sky,

And the distance between the two is the journey called success,

In our way we'll have to face many challenges,

Sometimes even with ourselves we'll have to clash...

That night when I was lying on my bed,

A voice from my heart silently said,

" The pain you carry is for what reasons?

In life happiness and sorrows are two seasons,

None of them remains for too long,

They are like the two sides of a coin, to everyone they belong,

Life is a roller-coaster of emotions,

It is like a mixture of four oceans,

Get up, chase your dreams,

Before your voice turns into screams,

There's always gonna be something in your way,

People will have many thing to say,

But you know you got to believe in yourself,

You have to be your own help,

So now stop the flowing tears from your eyes,

Because now you have to touch the heights."

That night I learnt some lessons of life,

The overpowered darkness had the moonlight I believe,

Maybe it took me a little more time,

But that night I finally learnt to live!

Blind Judgement!

Everyone out here are having their own problems,

With their issues and sorrows they are dealing,

And just for your fun, when you crack jokes on others,

You just don't know how much it might be hurting their feelings...

That girl you just called fat, is starving to have a good body,

That boy whom you locked in the washroom, lost his father yesterday,

That girl you just called a slut, is nourishing a baby in her uterus,

That guy whom you call a loser, works hard day and night just to succeed someday...

You just don't know what the other person is going through,

And how much your *joke* can hurt them,

You can't see what is inside a tree,

Just a tall straight standing stem...

The student whose notebook you tore apart,

Was writing it for the past whole year,

That person whom you trouble by ragging everyday,

Deals every minute with tears and fear...

So learn to be vigilant towards such acts,

Because these things are siblings of inhumane,

Be courageous to raise your voice when you something wrong,

And show that you are a real human being by being human!

The Reason!

Hazy sunlight in the winter mornings,

Feels so comforting and warm,

You act the same in my dark times,

Being there in every way & form...

I fall in love with the feeling I get,

When you slide your soft fingers over my hair,

All the tensions of the world vanishes in a while,

When in your beautiful eyes I begin to stare...

You are the reason I want to wake in the morning,

You are the reason for my peaceful sleep,

If you want to know how much you mean to me,

You'll have the peep my heart so deep...

Your unconditional and affable nature,

Pleases my brain and heart so well,

And if you are here always with me,

It doesn't matter if the place is heaven or hell...

You are the orbit on which my life revolves,

Whenever I'm lost, you are my clue,

And if today I am who I am,

The Reason is only you!
