Dear Dad

Dear Dad,
They say I am the younger version of you
But can I be as good as you?
When I am just a symphony’s note, can I be its final note?
When I am just a pearl, will I ever be the flawless one,
Just like you?

Dear Dad,
They say I look like you
But will I ever be a showstopper like you?
Will I beat the in-and-out beauty you hold?
Will I ever match the energy you have and the love that you pour?
Will I be brave enough to collect myself just like you do every day
without expressing yourself a single day?

Dear Dad,
I will today and forever
try to be the younger you
just as they say.

I Appreciate That.

Get the key, run into time travel,
Goin’ to 1700s to unravel,
All echoing royalty of past life miseries.
If hope’s the thing with feathers,
I don’t know what it means,
Euphoria is overwhelmed with melancholy.
Toast to escapism as my rescue,
All those fantasies I belong to,
‘Cause the real world’s ablaze in irony.

Believing doesn’t make it half-way,
All my calls are addressed mayday,

But, the lie is that,
Efforts forever decorate your good name,
Your failure’s nevermore your blame,
“All that you try is pure mettle,
I Appreciate That.”

Change is a constant in the universe,
Was I wise in welcoming my curse,
Maybe, it wasn’t my ultimate punishment.
I’ve recklessly rocked the chair of destiny,
Found the key to get success perilously,
All those days of flame drowning in September.
If fortune ever struck past my life,
I’d be thankful, it’d get me to cry,
My feigned joyous memories to remember.

Manifestation is never myth in reality,
All it has to overcome is humane cruelty,

But, the lie is that,
Fighting dragons makes you a hero,
Your stardom, alive in soul’s window,
“All your bravery is pure mettle,
I Appreciate That.”

If hide and seek is a game to play,
I’ll get lost never to be seeked again,
My world is a classic fairytale-to-be.
My fanciful death cuts employ reality checks,
I appreciate that I have them,
Fumes aren’t always left to die in peace.
I’d argue that scissors can’t beat paper,
‘Cause it’s the one that bleeds the weight off,
My friends would hate it with me.

When satirical verses come alive,
The truth is that I’m not fine,

But the lie is that,
Subsiding to desolation isn’t the laburnum top,
To sway in zephyr in silence is to survive on,
“All your inception is pure mettle,
I Appreciate That.”

But the lie is that I appreciate that.

I. Appreciate. That.

Let this Puppet Be

Anger is raging up to me,

Choking my throat to breathe,

Holding strings;

Controlling thoughts and words and my dos

I shall beg to no extent to be free;

For sake, free the shackle and 

let me be,

Cease the guns, the arrows, and the swords,

I shall not survive to hurt anymore

Loosen the strings, let this puppet free,

No longer shall I be a puppet,

I am human so

 let me be,

Hurting ‘n hating those I love,

Oh God how to tell I hate my love,

In the midst of this chaos,

If the likes of god exist,

Send a ray and set me free,

Please, 

let this puppet be.
