Dream of India

Though I lost, I still dare dream

Unheard went by, my pleading scream

I was broken in pieces, still dare stand

But now my kindred, force me to bend.

Do they not feel, the love I do

Or they put the fences in their hearts too

They paint red my borders, I only wail

For I do not want, hatred to prevail.

But I do not blame, O you my blood

'Cause in me too, vices overflood

Some of my children, they stab me hard

Make me impure, and aim their dart.

O my daughters, their chastity plundered

And reign of peace, by some is thundered

Hungry go by, and their eyes bleed

I wish if some, could give up greed.

You make riots, why don't hatred shun

Why do you forget, you are all one

Some create hazmats, some their cure

Some naive people, whom bluffs do lure.

On the whole, I am a divided soul

Some save me, some strength do stole

The world comes to me, I am assuming roles

My allies range, on equator and poles.

But this is not what, that I craved

All I needed was my love be saved

I still wait, in lanes where we sighed

Oh dear brothers, don't in darkness you hide.

Remove the blindfold, let's go back

When love between us, didn't use to lack

Though I am lost, I will still dream

That you will come, and peace will gleam.

Strange Indian Mister

Mother heard the car honk at the gate

Sees the clock , judges them not late

Opening the door, letting the duo enter

Daughter threw her bag, earthquake's epicenter.

What's the matter, practice over early today?

Mum, quit drama, I know my fee you didn't pay

Yeah we didn't, what's there in your dance

Only few reach high, it's pure chance

No more words uttered, only door slammed;

The girl gone, mum dad stood jammed

While the pool of tears was about to form

She felt a touch of something warm

Why do you cry and make yourself sad

It's been going since ages, destiny's like that.

I do not know who you are mister

But would you say that, if I were your sister.
Yes dear girl, the drill is the same
You give up your dreams for reasons lame.

But I really wanted to dance and sing
And act and make a grand living
Such a fantasy, didn't your parents warn
In India you dream based on where you're born
They did warn, but I didn't learn
I thought I'll reach if I'll be stern

I think they are right, I should study hard
Give up fictitious worlds, get good report card
And maybe if I just work little perfect
My life with my dreams may be specked
Oh no girl! You belong to general category,
An average student, I salute you for bravery.

Then what should I do, you suggest mister,
How to cure this burning blister?
Lower expectations, apply some ice
Everyone in India, faces this bias.

But why do sir, I have freedom none
When the boy next door learns to shoot with a gun
Dear miss believer, if you dreamt so high
Why did you not let win, the chromosome Y
And this is how this strange Indian mister
Presented the girl, with twister after twister.

'Love Yourself' to Don't Hate Me

Don't Hate Me

For the times that my brain was damaged

And for all those times I'll take the blame

You think I did it on purpose, oh please,

for goodness' sake

You think i was crying on my own well I wasn't

And I think I wanna write a song

'Cause I don't want anyone thinking I'm a loser 

I'm not

But the monsters still come up

And I tell them, I've been moving on

And they should go somewhere else,

Maybe they should know that

My mama thinks of me as a traitor like no one

And I never like to admit that she's wrong

But I'd been so caught up in the war

Didn't see what you thought

But now I know, I better see everything's gone

'Cause if they think that they know me that much

Oh, please you should go and think again

And if you think you are still thinking right

Oh please, you should give up this plan.

And when you told me that I'm not doing well

The problem was really deeper than that

And everytime you told me that my track was wrong

I tried to forget all what was going on

And I think I wanna write a song

'Cause I don't want anyone thinking I'm a loser

I'm not

But the monsters still come up

And I tell them, I've been moving on

And they should go somewhere else,

Maybe they should know that

My mama thinks of me as a traitor like no one

And I never like to admit that she's wrong

But I'd been so caught up in the war

Didn't see what you thought

But now I know, I better see everything's gone

'Cause if they think that they know me that much

Oh, please you should go and think again

And if you think you are still thinking right

Oh please, you should give up this plan.

For all the times when in my mind they crawl

They caught me, now they're not lettin' go at all

And I've felt so low since they began the trouble

Was I a fool to keep it to myself and smile false

'Cause if they think that they know me that much

Oh, please you should go and think again

And if you think you are still thinking right

Oh please, you should give up this plan.

This is an attempt to transform the song 'Love Youself' by Justin Bieber. All the credits for the idea go the original makers of the song.

This song has been transformed as per the views of someone fighting through depression.

VAGABOND

Oh Vagabond, don't roam in these wastelands

Oh Vagabond, go home you broke your strands

On these streets comes no one

Here you'll never see the sun

Homeland you lost in mist

Travelling light years, is it?

Oh Vagabond, find your sidewalk soon

Oh Vagabond, only stars are left no moon

Smooth roads are for speedy cars

But you're a peddler ticking hours

Dear what are you looking for

The world inside is going at war.

Oh Vagabond, let out the ocean in streams

Oh Vagabond, give away the silent screams

We know the world failed you

We took away your light too

We handed you a loaded gun

We told you to fight and run.

Oh Vagabond, don't stop looking for your land

Oh Vagabond, please create it as you planned

And oh Vagabond, gather all what is left

and Vagabond, live before the stars are swept.

Life-A Poem

A million thoughts through the day come to my mind

But when I sit to pen it down, not one I find

Where do they vanish, into thin air?

Or they just tell me, that life's not fair.

Like these floating words, there are lives many

Some famished, struck with hunger, not worth a penny

Like those that drown and never resurface

They do go and never show their face

Some of them we loved, they died!

Like words we choose to forever hide

And some with pride, we show to the world

Both words and lives, in air are hurled.

So few of them, that feel like home

Those little moments make life a poem!

The Promise - That's Tomorrow

Walking down the deserted street 

And seeing the sun of my life set

Struggle so long and now a defeat

My eyes, my soul, my heart is wet.

I stand, I trip, I stand still again

And broken is my heart, but my faith-

My faith will bear all the pain

One day in success my efforts will bathe.

The sun that sets today will rise

And my determination will fight

Fight for the dream I saw with open eyes

There is hope in darkness, there is light.

Though I'm in pieces lying today

But my tomorrow will be mine

I'll put my shattered pieces again

The ruined today will tomorrow be fine

The sky awaits for me to fly

And with my strength, the clouds I'll kiss

I'll be there, up there high

This is to my tomorrow-my promise.

Monsters

There are monsters in my head
They won't let me go to bed
Tonight I'll stay wide awake
'Cause sleep makes my hands shake
My life flashes in my dreams
These nightmares call for screams
Falling in the deepest trench
Their thirst my tears quench
Something one of them uttered 

Oh no my brain they murdered
Its red that now surrounds
My wounds screaming without sounds

They say I'm quiet, I do not speak
I do not let the weapons leak
Brainless voiceless friendless heap
What I sow, did I reap?

Shut in, shut out, shut inside out
Insecure immature pestering lout
Seeing the scars they're terrified
What if I open my soul wide?

Broken, shattered, stitched and stuck
Hope, my friend, the deuce suck
In my hands are blades that sink
The bites in my flesh don't make me blink
Kidnapped I still try to whisper
But none out there can decipher
My own hands they did hire
To set myself on fire
What's left is a little blood
And in my eyes a flood
This situation is becoming dire
Please save me before I tire.
