Tired Much (May 18, 2013)



Another milestone was crossed, without any milestone achieved.
About to cross yet another mile, still no milestone
Dreams that vanished, dreams that got buried,
Dreams that were broken, dreams that were thrashed. . .

To live without anything to look forward to; could there be a punishment more severe?


You come back to an empty home, with no one waiting for you
and then the memories of a dream that you had hoped for a future, begin to haunt.
What you had wanted, what you had wished for, What you got, what you live with . .

Not daunted by anybody who tries to intimidate;
haunted by a young old self who keeps questioning

How long? When? How? And the worst of all “You think so?”


Living a borrowed life, EMI’s of which never end
For once, she craved for a happiness that was hers to hold,
that was hers to clutch and that was hers to own.

Tired of the trials of life, she was busy finding happiness in small little things
like rain, windy weather, coffee, a child’s smile.
She got tired of finding happiness in those things.
Tired of trying to own the rain and the wind that was not hers
Tired of holding the child that wasn’t hers to hold.
Tired of smiling at the grumpy old lady next door
Tired of the tears and their “now predictable” trail
Tired of the vain life and the stupid self
Tired of the pretext; tired of the pretence.
Tired of having to have some patience
Tired of the tribulations, tired of the truth Tired of myriad mirage, tired of the hope’s carnage

Tired of the cuts that don’t bleed; Tired of the bruises that she doesn’t need

She asked;

Where is my share ?
My share of love, my bundle of joy,
the apple of my eyes, my share of life?
Where is?

Life replied:
You just got served
