MOSAIC OF MISTAKES

Vedaanti Bakshi 2005 (Sri Ganaganagar)



MOSAIC OF MISTAKES

I feel like a Mosaic of mistakes…
Seeking for Lover in a world of broken souls…
Seeking A friend in a world where deception grows…
This is An age so bleak
An era so surreal
An array of emotions racing like mad horses trying to impress a set of bidders.
Constantly Camouflaging in these filters and fillers
“Starve till your bones show”...
Where did my freedom go?!
Sleep, wake up, Attack and defend!
When will my teenage end?
Where are the teen years I dreamed of…
Why am I crying tears I never wished for…
Every night Crying myself to sleep
If my mind was a movie, it would be full of a bleep…
Trying to declutter the clutter…
I once used to speak my mind but now I stutter…
Trying to fit in with the best…
My exhausted mind wishes to take a rest…
They tell me “it is a phase”
Oh, I really hope it is…
Because
I feel like a mosaic of mistakes
Trying to give up, trying to get up
Trying to fight, trying to flight
Trying to contemplate what is wrong and what is right.
Jealousy, envy, misery and hate …
“Look at her dress”, “damn she ate”,
“He got a fitter girl”,
“She straightened her ugly curl”,
“Did you see her, She lost a lot of kilos”,
The tears behind white teeth, no one sees those…
All the ugly faces cased behind a shiny mask
“How you doing, bud?” waiting for someone to ask.
Everything around seems broken
Is it everything or is it one thing I haven't looked within…
I, me and myself…
The broken and twisted -
I, me and myself…

Respect existence or expect resistance!!! more…
