A ceaseless ringing,
Fades away,
When the author picks up his pen –
Short-lived, his solace.
A ceaseless ringing,
Fades away,
When the author picks up his pen –
Short-lived, his solace.
Dreams, sanity in question,
Many a miles travelled,
Only to meet their destiny –
Silenced,
For what seems like forever.
Try, as you might,
Force it upon yourself, so you do,
So many things only,
One is capable of
Banter, everywhere,
Considerable amounts of engagement,
Constant debating,
Never did any, any good.
Is it all sunshine and roses,
Is any?
Serene, calm, and resilient,
Calculated moves driving home their point,
Unabashed, bold, a spirit on fire,
Gladly chooses to remain,
As is, though desire.
You and I, we amble on,
Blissfully, or not, ignorant,
Of the fact that,
It is not all about us.
It just seemed like now that I arrived here, a naive me taking in the sights. I remember attending my very first class – I had to choose which row to take – and I gladly chose the last. It only seems like now that all those evenings at the hostel flew by, one not too different from the other. I had a lot of time to myself – I wanted this, and I got it. Maybe a little too much. I had trouble fitting in – but I have a much clearer head now, or so I think. I’m suddenly taken aback by not getting to be in sweet ignorance anymore. Clichéd as it goes, I really needed this time on my own. More opinions, a better sense of belonging, and though I detest the engineering programme to date, college has been a melancholic, hormone-driven, bittersweet experience. I think I am done reminiscing now, and I’m out to live the hell out of the remaining few weeks here. For what they’ve been, the memories stand, but this can’t just be it. To more friggin’ experiences.
And it saddens me deeply,
That mine is the only perspective,
I’ll ever get to fully experience.
I am constantly fighting a battle. For what reason, I wonder. But I have no plans of giving up. Nope. Beat me down to my core, I will re-emerge strenghtened.
