Man Without Pen!


                   Think of the world without light
                   And ocean without waves
                   Think of the night without stars
                   And a mountain without caves

                   Think of the wind
                   Determining your destination
                   Making you incapable to express
                   Your thought and determination

                   Think you have no chance
                   To write the beauty of word
                   Cannot express your voice
                   For violence and get discard

                   Think you want to preserve
                   Your history for the next generation
                   But you are unable to express
                   Or play with your emotion

                   Think you cannot write your plight
                   And your life remain in vain and pain
                   You have all the luxuries ...But
                   “What's a man without a pen ?"


                   Dear Self

                   I always find you , whenever I need help
                   With you , I can be..... just myself

                   You and I connect in a way
                   Standing together every time
                   Knowing my fears and darkest secret
                   You are my partner in crime.

                   Banked on approval from friends
                   Took you for granted and disowned us
                   Rushing through career and goals
                   I was selfish, ruthless ,critical and harsh.

                   How can I forget all about you.... my sweetheart.
                   I will come back to you again and again
                   This time I will put you first.


                   I always find you , whenever I need help
                   With you , I can be .......just myself.
