In this space, I write not to explain life, but to explore it. Pause with me, linger between the lines, and perhaps you’ll discover a piece of your own story here too. 🙂
With a heart so heavy and eyes so numb
I look at Thee with questions some
Why am I the target of this?
Why do I have to live with this?
When I see clearly what they do to me?
Why can’t I let myself free?
Why do I need to stay chained this way?
I would like to leave, if I may
Did I really choose this for me
If yes, then what is yet to see
To reach where You want me to be
Oh can I reach there sooner please
Make me, before this breaks me
A plea with all my heart to flee
Help me and light my path ahead
Please guide me – like “I will”, You said!
Throughout the night, and throughout the day
I can talk to YOU, if I have my say
Where-ever I go, whichever way
YOUR face I want to see, if I may
Each breath that I take, consciously or not so much
Want to think of YOU, if I’m allowed as such
With every heartbeat reverberating within me
I want to soak myself in YOUR divinity
With every word that I know or have ever learnt
I want to talk to YOU, even if this tongue is burnt
No moment of this life is worthwhile
If YOU haven’t looked at me and smiled
No one can ever be what YOU are
My father, my guru, my Baba – you’re near, even when far…!
Love YOU so much that it makes me cry
With YOUR name I want to be identified
For YOUR association I want to apply
For every inch closer to YOU, I want to try
No one for me to offer the solace
Which YOU provide through YOUR miraculous ways
From dawn to dusk, with each breath that I take
I want to live for YOUR name’s sake
With a wish in me to meet YOU at the end
I’ll happily face all the challenges that this life will send!
