All in a day!

I woke up late,
I lost my shoe,
I fell on the stairs,
All in a day.

I missed the bus,
I lost my wallet,
I had no money to pay,
All in a day.

I walked to skool,
I entered the classroom,
Getting punished causing dismay,
All in a day.

I attended boring lectures,
Ate tomatoes for lunch,
Even after skool I was made to stay,
All in a day.

I reached home late,
I saw my friend wait,
I went to play,
All in a day.

I had a bruised knee,
I went to the doctor,
Had ice cream on my way,
All in a day.

My boy friend called me up,
My mother heard me speak,
She asked me to keep away,
All in a day.

I kept thinking,
I kept dreaming,
When on my bed I lay,
After everything that happened, all in a day.

The dance of my life!

This is not something I've experienced. I've only always imagined the situation. :D


I get into the room,
You stand there talking to a lady.
I feel a pang of jealously hit me,
I try to ignore and make things steady.

You turn around to give it a look,
I walk straight holding my calm.
You wink at me,
But inside you I can feel the storm.

There's a guy whom I know,
He comes around and kisses my hand.
I give a sweet smile,
'Cause I see you watching from where you stand.

I titter as he says something amusing.
Then he asks me for a dance, I agree.
In the middle of the crowd, we make our way.
I see you dance with the other lady.

Everyone adorned with flamboyance,
Dancing merrily on the song.
We switch partners and now,
Its YOU and ME along.

Our eyes met as we stood face to face.
The way you looked at me, made me go weak in my knee.
You held my hand and pulled me close.
Breath caught up in my throat, but, I still smile for you to see.

My heart skipped a beat,
As you whispered sweet something in my ear.
Before I gathered my senses,
From crowd we had disappeared.

It sure was 'the dance of my life'.
Embracing each other, we kissed.
Only thing for real to me were you.
The moment to last till eternity, I wished.

A friend in you is all I want!

Stop now! Let it go.
I feel defeated.
I am out of it now,
The veneer of love you created.

I was dazed, so lost in you.
You made me believe, it was all so true.
Thinking of which now, makes me blue.

You make a bridge,
I break it all.
You talk of love,
I make a fall.

Do I care?
Perhaps, I don't.

Trust you blindly?
No, I won't.

Love you deeply?
Sorry, I can't.

A friend in you,
Is all I want.

Its such a shame, it had to end.
Wounds of which will never mend.

Just another face in the crowd!

In the dead of the night,
I lay on my bed.
Eyes wide open, I stare at the ceiling.
Evasive thoughts fill my head.

Who am I? What am I?
I ask myself over and over again.
What if I don't wake up tomorrow?
Will anyone suffer or is it just in vain?

When I look back in time,
I realize my life so lame.
Never have I done anything to make someone proud,
Innumerable faces in the crowd and I am just the same.

As a child I had seen so many dreams.
Why didn't I fulfill them?
So many years lost, so many errors made.
Will I ever be able to rectify them?

I always was in pursuit of something.
But what was it, I never knew.
I am still sailing in the middle of the ocean,
Where chances of getting to the shore are few.

One small life we've all got.
So much to do, so much to achieve.
The time is running so fast,
A lot I need to unwind and perceive.

With a clear mind and immense confidence,
A belief ignites in me.
I need to move ahead with no regrets,
Sincere and determined is all I've got to be.
