Your pretentious self!

Who’s standing between you and your dreams?

It’s not them, it’s your pretentious self, fool.

The one that scares you like hell to take chances in life,

The life that you know, you only live once.

Draped in the insecurities about trying your gut,

And never getting off that same old shit.

Don’t lose faith in the instincts that work,

For you being firm and determined, did always serve.

Now that the times aren’t great and a slide no fun,

Yet there’s nothing to lose but so much to earn.

You fail and you fall but you always try,

As you already know, you can't just sit and cry.

It never was and will never be an option for the fighter in you,

To let the failure win and damn screw you.

Never in your life did you get anything so easy,

So why such notions at present, have kept you busy?

You’re done revisiting your dead grave by now,

It’s time to move on from being stuck to awe.

Failures define you as you fight them back,

You always strive for the skills you lack.

That’s how your journey has been,

You fought back all the atrocities you have seen.

Get up and rise, be vigorous and steady,

Don’t lose hope and you are tough-times ready.

 Faith keeps me moving!


 I fall, I cry, I bring myself back,

 I fail, I try, I push my inner strength.

 When the days get darker and the nights so gloomy,

 In the times of despair when nothing's bloomy.

 When I seek just a ray of hope,

 And no such good things ever pop.

 With a broken heart and a shattered will,

 I come slowly down the hill.

 I ask myself why don't I quit?

 Why not embrace ignorance, relax and sit?

 The flame of aspiration is still lit,

 It's not that the path is sorted and my actions a hit.

 But because Faith keeps me moving!

Hey You...The Bold One!

Hey you... the bold one, the liberated version of me,

So long you took to show me the sight I just now see.

It was you who was always there to make me what I've ever been,

Times change, seasons come and go, such phases of life you've seen.

Hey you...the fearless one, the stronger version of me,

So long you took to gather the guts now I can see.

Do you still believe in yourself or given up on your dreams,

For you are still alive and you gotta work for your themes.

Hey you...the daring one, the valiant version of me,

So long you took exploring, yet some blurred vision to see.

Limitless possibilities in you, that you do imbibe,

Follow instincts, get set go...the moment you get the vibe.

Hey you...the fierce and firm, the dauntless version of me,

So long you took to stick to what you believe you see.

Now that you have found it all, why rest till you achieve,

Just follow your heart and look up to what you perceive.

Hey you... the bold one, the liberated version of me,

So long you took to show me the sight I just now see.

Losing Myself!

Losing myself inch by inch,

Done enough trying not to flinch.

With each passing day or so,

Becoming quiet and so low.

For once before I die,

To unknown places, I wanna fly.

To roam around in seclusion,

Above hypocrisy and illusion.

Bridging the gap between life and death,

Getting beyond love and wrath.

Of boundations, I know nothing,

Of pain, of failure or of sting.

Where the world looks a fairer deed,

Selfless connection and lack of greed.

I wish of hope, we sow the seeds,

To gather in love for all our needs.

In the lap of nature, I may rise and awake,

For the carefree self, nothing's at stake.

Break up free!

Break up free you chained in the chores,

You're worth it beyond your own doubts and foes.

Let your heart sing to all the open doors,

For still I hope, you'll live in the moment like life's no more.

Let the gaze of the sky fill your inner soul,

Deprived of strength, relish the dwelling rays of the morning Sun.

Let the redness of the sunrise kindle the aspirations you hold,

For the years of darkness are over, you begin on a new note.

Let the waves of the sea just wash away all your griefs,

Don't let your spirits droop, you are here to nurture your beliefs.

Rise, rise, rise against the winds of fear,

No despair can hold you back as nothing's left for you to bear.

As you just pass the cheerless towns climbing up the hill,

Stronger and bolder you emerge- An iconic figure that's You.

Had not taken your chances and stayed in the comfort of grim,

Caged were you by the walls you built not by her or him.

Waiting have you stressed out, move on and proceed,

In the direction of your dreams, sow the hope as the seed.

Unrestrained and a happy self awaits your discovery man,

For you seem the happiest toiling for your plan.

She is set free, She's gonna fly!

As she is set free, she's gonna fly,

Up so high, with the birds in the sky...

Has found her way now, chasing her dreams,

Has the zeal, with passion, she gleams...

As she moves on, spreading her wings,

Found herself living again, is the song she sings...

Into the gaze of a limitless life, she's gonna dive,

Inhibitions no longer, define her strive...

Who can catch her, she's out of the reach,

How far she makes it, time will teach...

As she is set free, she's gonna try,

All that she has longed for, without a sigh...

Charm Of Dreams!

Am I being myself or just faking it,

Do I love my job or just dragging it?

What let’s not sleep me whole night,

Isn’t it the charm of my Dreams so bright?

Far away somewhere in the Dream, I see...

Emancipated, zealot, I am singing… My God, I’m set free.

This is the moment of my life I got,

For the pursuit of my Dream, everything else I fought.

Crowds waiving to my songs in Live,

I’m enthralled and just begun feeling alive.

Freeze the moment before it gets wane,

Who knows when I meet my real self once again?

Stars embrace me glittering, chuckling…

Oh Gosh...I’m so high on stage, merrily blushing.

Rhythmic beats and music, dazzling nights…

Over my fearful mind, my heart winning all the fights.

Let me keep Dreaming…Pursuing…Doing…

With my eyes-opened, yeah…My world's not moving.

Still inside, there’s some fire I feel,

And wish...I fulfill my Dreams with full zeal.
