A World Without Watches

Let us take a decision now,
I'm sure, this one you all will love.

Let's stop our watches and clocks forever
And throw them down a gushing river.

Imagine life, without limits of time.
Void of those clocks and their irritating chime.

We won't have to see those dreadful timetables,
They make me feel as if I'm bound by cables.

We won't have to complete the syllabus within an year.
And the teachers would stop drilling in our ear.

We can write exams to show what we've learned.
And not race the clock, to leave our brains burned.

We can relax, we can sleep. We can be at ease.
And we can give our minds, a state of peace.

We can slow down this race, this frantic pace.
And for once we can give, each other some space.

We can open our eyes and take a look around.
And see mother nature's beauty abound.

We often turn a blind eye, towards the good in our life.
Instead we choose to have tension and strife.

All of us are bound by the watches on our wrists.
They make our lives complex, by bringing in twists.

That's why I say, let's ditch our watches.
And live the life we want, void of any latches.

Identitiy Crisis

I’m confused about my reality.

I just can’t figure out my true identity.

Physically I’m one, but mentally I’m many.

The role’s I play are just too many.

I’m facing sort of an identity crisis.

I play many roles on a daily basis.

For my parents I’m their obedient boy,

And on me depends much of their joy.

I’m a diligent student when I’m at school,

Searching for wisdom in that big knowledge pool.

When I’m with friends I’m a whole new person.

I laugh, I swear; I see no reason.

I let myself go and try to be open.

But yet that isn’t me. I’m not fully open.

Thus I play many different roles.

If I define them all, I’ll need many paper rolls.

So who am I in blood and bone?

I am what I am, only when I’m alone.

I solve my crisis and resolve to have fun.

But the moment I step out, its back to square one.

Deja Vu

Deja Vu is a crazy feeling.
Like repeating actions without any meaning.

You feel that you've done something before,
Like ocean waves lashing the sea shore.

I listen to my teachers, taking the class.
But haven't I heard this before and had let it pass?

I chat with my friends, I just talk on.
Suddenly I feel, aren't these moments long back gone?

My parents advice me as it's usual everyday.
But did I not hear the same, the very previous day?

Deja Vu is a crazy feeling.
Like repeating actions without any meaning.

Hey wait, didn't I write these lines before?
Ah! Deja Vu, like waves on a sea shore
