Surrounded

Deril 2007 (Manipur)



​What if i never grow up ?

What if we never meet again ?

What if in my life u didn't showed up ,

 What if you and me never remember ?



What if we were in a train ?

What if i never become a singer?

What we crossed each other at the lane ?

What if i wasn't  a timber ?



What if we were just living a dream ?

What if for u i wasn't the one?  

What if it didn't came true ; my dreams?

What if for others life was just fun ?

What if  he saw me and runned?



And if we ever to meet  how would I hide? my  dust face;

And if i was the "prince of nothing " one ?

And if there's no place ?

For someone ,

 Whose  all "whats "are followed by "  if "

For me it's followed by " can u just leave ?"



 I don't blame them  for the curse

Of teenage ;

I blame  my age ?

I blame that damn society  ; now it's venges !

Because some kids Don't care about maths ?



 

Maybe i should just wait a minute,

Maybe by it , it may mean ages?

Followed by "what ifs" of society

That to me is a paper cut

Hurts little  , and burns more .



 They think it's fun to splash mud,

And i ask why and  for answer i bore !

And it's like a folklore written by witch :

 And  i can say she sometimes  have spits ,

On my character image

She puts so much rugs and beds

It feels like a leach ,



When they  put me on a big cage

I have been in parrot cages

For ages ,

The "what ifs" are just another cage

For me to get up my rages

And  turn pages,  to the sages

And saints for the contentments

And there isn't a trace



Of my foots and hands ,

As they  wash it of like my solace,

'tis the  "what if " case!  

Now ; i may lay my body on a wooden case .

Just to keep another face .

The face ? Face of guilt ,  my embarrassed ,

My self respect , and those skills?

I left at a store !

To buy a new body and pace

There it's now the "what ifs " that no more surrounds

As before it used to bound.
