Agitated Soul


Head spinning, a dreadful thought
Even though everything seems so normal
Why does this buzz not going away
This sense of sadness, loneliness
You know you're not alone
Why is it that everything seems hollow
Emptiness creeping in, why?
No one to listen or is it that you can't talk
Why does this burden weigh so heavy
Shoulders drop low
Even a hint, no one knows!
No solace or respite from this it seems
Why to even try fight it you think
Sitting alone in a crowd of known faces
Mind running too fast to grasp
Looking around in hope
Everyone's busy driving home
Their own misery
Wishing only an ear to hear you out
But not a single one free
All plugged in different machines
Even the darkness of closed eyes
Does not make you feel calm
A forced Hi, a fake smile,
A chat with a close friend
You do it all to seem normal
Dragging it on as long as you can
But deep down the cloud is getting darker

Haal

Nikle the duniya ko badalne
Par haal hua kuch aisa
Duniya ne humko hi badal dala
Socha tha kaam karenge kuch aisa
Ke itihaas bhi yaad kare
Par haal hua kuch aisa
Khud hi itihas ke panno me kho baithe
Leke gaye dil apna hatheli par
Aaj pyaar ka ikraar karna tha
Par haal hua kuch aisa
Ussi haath pe rakhi bandha baithe
Dosti nibhayi bina kuch soche samjhe
Dost nahi parivar the vo mere
Par haal hua kuch aisa
Humne to sabko diya kandha
Par humko sahara dene wala koi na mila

Mind

Sometimes when I sit and wonder
Wonder what's dragging me down
Hanging by my feet, what's it all about
The mind wanders someplace far
The body, dead lying in wait
The powers to bring back what's lost
Is something the heart yearns for
But the mind knows it's futility
And so it wanders
It wanders for a meaningful solution
Solution for this never ending pain
A lingering, subtle never ending pain
That cannot be described 
In the farthest reaches
It sees a light,
Could that be the answer
Alas, nothing but a fragment
Fragment of an old memory
A happy memory,
One that has been muzzled down
Why? It does not even remember
With nothing but void,
It starts to ascend, one layer at a time
A loud noise buzzing in a distance
Slowly approaching
And bam I wake up to the alarm!!
