Long nights, no sleep My life’s down and deep Weekends, no cash No party, no bash Too much bills And life kills Inflation, expenses Empties my purses No birds, No love Life’s like a hot stove Incentives, Pay hike Not enough to buy a bike Darkness, no light Never been in a flight Maintenance and house rent These days I avoid the restaurants Hard work, tiring days Doesn’t give good pays Poor health, high stress My life has become a mess No speed, no cars At night, I glance the stars No smoke, no drinks Slowly my ship sinks No friends, no play Some enemies do slay To God I pray Not to make my hair grey Bad days, cruel boss My profession goes for a toss High tax, bad loans Almost I look a clown No gifts, no luck In the middle, I’m stuck Vacations and Beaches Far out from my reaches No US, No UK Right here I am not OK Dull life, no colours All day, painful hours No Dollars, No Euros I’m ...

Nervy thoughts, swinging moods Tonnes of accumulated unrest and feud Every minute when death waits While panic attacks take the bait No color, no joy No love for me boy No hope and no success Fully doped in the recess You don’t get dreams because you don’t sleep Pain and struggles drown you deep Cries and lament, makes you creep You don’t live because you don’t sleep There’s nothing left for me in this life God has been cruel and created strife I couldn’t clear the mess around me When depression caught, and pulled me inside thee Never was there a moment of happiness No source available at my end to harness Oh, this life is taking me down And slowly I lose control and drown You don’t fly because you don’t sleep Betrayals and breakups drown you deep Failure and void, makes you creep You don’t live because you don’t sleep Deprived of sleep for months Anxiety filled me throughout Left with no more strength Waiti...

The day when I saw you in a white dress Began chasing you like a guy from the press Your looks, smile, and voice To get you, I could trade my Rolls-Royce The moment I saw you every day in the morning Left happiness trails during my day How could you be so beautiful even in the evening? Radiating everyone on your way Followed you in the office, inside the corridor Just to get a glimpse of you to keep me up Sometimes I bumped on you while you opened the door Leaving me spill coffee on the floor from the coffee cup Although we only met for two minutes and talked I thought it was enough for us to get locked But you had other dreams, some massive ones And I was hopeless without firing some big guns I did let you walk away Since I didn’t want to be an obstacle While you chose another guy’s play And happily pursuing your goals with spectacles I am happy that you have gone so ahead Building your career, chasing your dreams While I am sti...

The smile on your face Could lit a million lights Your eyes as bright as sun’s rays With spirits as high as the flying kites You could fill a depressing soul with energy And make a lazy dog run When you make some notorious mistakes without apology My life seems filled with fun You keep running without getting tired Jumping like a frog with ecstasy Sometimes you turn me nervy and wired But the moments you offer are no less than a fantasy The desire and curiosity you possess Carves your mind with brilliance Your limits become difficult to assess As you’re my God’s gift of elegance What do you see in your dreams? Galloping your thoughts into actions Every object you analyse with means And you learn everyday with your friend bastions Sometimes I want to feel your dreams To have your level of energy and ecstasy Sometimes I want to go back in time And become back a kid and be sassy

Tonnes and Tonnes of love, I sprinkled When your mesmerising beauty twinkled With heart and soul, I loved Thought always about you, my beloved Our little meetings and chit-chats Turned our times cherished to memories The jokes we shared burned our fat We talked and talked a million stories Sometimes we took the long road and walked Quietly holding our hands locked In silence, we looked each other’s eyes Went in depth and explored the skies Occasionally we hummed few songs together Without worries, we danced like a free-flowing feather Went places and enjoyed nature Drenched in rain with no nomenclature As time passed, life took a turn And I was in a big need of money to earn Dejected from our relationship and moved on While you constantly tried to re-establish the connection, and stayed on I ignored you, serving you sleepless nights Kept you weeping all day with monstrous stress A greedy me engaged with you in silly fights Taki...

You were a subject of, mother of all pains Time and again, you were hurt by all kinds When you were labelled, a symbol of lust Bringing your strength and desire to dust Your life was left miserable With all doors closed The wounds that were unbearable Left your weak nature exposed Those men who ruined your life Laughed mad at your distress When you were left alone with strife None was there for you, to caress Consistently affected by physical and mental abuse Made your life turn hell While the men with rotten thoughts could cruise None listened to the sound of your bell Even the wind which touched your face Left you with relentless scar The entire world let you blaze Marred you in the middle of war When your shouts turn into deaf ears When the entire universe turns a mere spectator With strength, you should shout loud, shifting gears Stopping the proceedings of the dictator Enough of bearing all, enough of bei...

Having been a Superstar Far out of reach from my competitors While was fighting my war Saw off all the opponents with fervour I was the talk of the town A sensational Victor, a Legend Whoever fought me, went down With insurmountable losses that wouldn’t mend Game after game – I won Cruising along, I feared none Like a tall mountain that stood with pride Glory was on my stride Like the never-ending waves, I marched Watching me unstoppable, my rivals parched Precision and Perfection Took me to new levels of elation Millions of fans celebrated my victory As I was creating history Like the beaming sunlight that descends upon the earth With some brilliant plays, I took away my fan’s breath After few everlasting success The winds seemed to recess Age and injury took a toll When the new players had a roll Every game I lost gave me pain And failures started to rain The end of an era – some called My ideas and execution fla...

The long tiring seasons of domination With no freedom to express our thoughts Our endless fears on relentless starvation Deep down inside struck with blood clots The never-ending saga of Oppression Our family and kids dealt with humiliation When earning bread and butter became tedious The entire world that slaved us turned joyous For long we battled for equal rights Pleaded for acknowledgment and respect The feel of free air left far away from our sights Betrayed even by the Gods who ignored to protect Our stories and history written in blood With our men and women beaten for fun In our struggles alone we stood With our heads down, fearing for the gun Together we were in our mission Slowly the winds of rebel gained support Few good hearts understood our vision And bailed us from the ocean of dirt We work hard in driving the economy But still few see us as an enemy Before we think we have succeeded, we have miles to go To let th...
