MY EXAMS
During exams we set so many alarm clocks,
But when they ring…
Our ears literally block!
Somehow we manage to
get-up early in the morning,
And read our books…
With so many intervals of yawning!
Parents always force us due to scarcity of time,
But we feel…
As if it is a compulsory crime!
During 3 hours of our exam,
Our memory gets jam,
And we try to cheat by asking-
‘May I go to toilet ma’m!’
What a relief when first exam gets over,
But again our mind gets weird,
Since other exams left moreover!
One by one exams approach to their end,
Soon we realize that what has happened!

HURLED HOPES
Trudging along the passage
I move towards my gradual death,
Towards my bed,
Where I will be agonized,
Tortured,
Assaulted,
Humiliated,
But SShhh….
Ican’t cry out for help,
Because my agonizer is-
A Barbaric and Bestial one!
Though I am an alive corse,
the last nail into my coffin will never be driven,
As he needs me,
And his needs are no less than a legion.
I cry,
I wail,
I plead,
But remember it’s a nuptial bondage,
And I am his slave, a prisoner.
My body can be twisted, crushed and squeezed,
After all it is just a “thing” of pleasure,
a sex object,
And I-
A beast of burden.
This overtly “PIOUS” law rules out rape in marriages,
But am I not mutilated each day?!
My self is driven out of me,
And there it stands naked,
in the passageway,
Staring at my soul through my eyes,
Smirking at my cowardice.
No one can ever understand this labyrinth,
In which I am caught every single hour,
By none other than my better half,
My Husband!

IF I FLAD THE CHOICE
If only I had the choice,
To stay out all night,
Attending all the parties,
Wearing dresses, oh, so , bright!
Wouldn’t that be really nice?
If only I had the choice,
To go where I want,
To the beautiful places,
Wow! what a sight!
Wouldn’t that be really nice?
If only I had the choice,
To do what I want,
No studies, No exams,
No stress, Oh, feeling so light,
Wouldn’t that be really nice?
But If I had the only choice,
To stay calm and work hard,
With patience and positivity,
No skip, to reach great heights,
Wouldn’t that be really nice?

I AM HOOKED
There was a day when I had different aspirations
From a fairy tale, I moved to the
world of conspiracies
I took this world easily,
this world broke my notions
Then I met a Human whom
I considered as an Angel
The angel filled my life
with love and happiness
My immature mind told me this
is how my life would be
After all, this place was full of conspirators
My Angel turned into a Human and forgot to love
The love was gone
I never left Hope and moved on
I fixed a smile and stayed calm
Not waiting for another angel but for love I deserved
I got none, I held strong
My journey continues and will end someday
But my heart will be hooked
to you for all these days.
