I’m not wearing
A washed ironed shirt
Short combed hairs with central parting
Clean nails
Polished shoes
I don’t lead
The college football team
Nor the
Class in marks
Sorry dad,
I’m not
Your little boy anymore
I’m not pet
Of my teachers
I don’t care
Even if she remembers
My name
I do bunk classes
Ask a friend for proxy
Slip cheats in exams
And barely get passed
I make passes at gals
Blow a shrill whistle
Their complains r
In vain
Sorry mom
I’m not your Bokya
Anymore
I don’t have outstretched hands
And an offer in my pocket
For a rakhi
I forget to
Call u
On ur b’days
Don’t care to attend
When u call on mine
Sorry sis
I’m not ur
Sweet bro
Anymore
All that playing
A good one is driving
Me insane
I’ve ceased
To be myself.
Mysteriously
The days pass by
Filling the void
Of my past
Future unravelling
Into present
Present transforming
In past
Dreams were seen
A beatiful thing to come
Challeges and choices
Were faced everyday
Have they become
Missed opportunities?
And left regrets of road not taken
I start to wonder
Why time passes in one direction
Sick of this mindless wander
I seek a guide of this dismay
Hope then was a mid day sun
Symbolising the promising future
Startled I notice
It has become a lonely fading star
Were we not the prodigies
The torch bearers………..
Why r we dumb founded now
We started the rain
Give me a chance
To break this jinx
Correct wrong choices
Say the unsaid words
Grab the missed opportunities
I want
To make right ones now
Just try once more
Unfill that void
Wipe my slate clean
All I need is a second chance......... "Tomorrow's Doctors, Tomorrow's Cure" |
