You are not ready
to leave everything
and set out to face the world
to achieve the dreams
if you are worried of how people
will treat you
if you worried for your likability
if you need people to tell
what you are doing is good
and you should continue
if in the death of night you are worried
for your future
if in the harshest times you look back
and sigh with regret
chasing dreams is getting lost
purposely with acknowledging the fact
that you might not find yourself
back again ever.
We all are made of
blood,flesh and bones
a dysfunctional heart
that keeps pumping dreams,
love,memories to an ignorant mind
a soul that wants to wander in
galaxies unknown,
though immortal it is afraid
of the world out here
but don’t you know it already?
haven’t you felt it already?
the ignorant mind my friend,
the ignorant mind.
There would clouds and it would rain
the sky would be full of thunders,
the winds will howl one day,
but you should not be afraid
read books and write
as you do now
There would be failures
people laughing at work,
seeing you scribble in middle of the day,
dropping their egos like a-bombs on you,
when you ask for reviews
but you should not be afraid
read books and write
as you do now.
There will come a time
where you might be successful
people will read your work
maybe 10,20 or even thousands
never let the pride sink in,
but you should not be afraid still
read books and write
as you do now.
I once had a dream
I was lost in an Island familiar to me
I remembered the trees
I remember the ocean and waves
Even the smell of air
made me nostalgic
I saw marks on the sand
small hand prints all over the beach
the castles now burned in the sun
some washed away
I laid down and wondered
why can’t I remember this place
till I fell asleep.
I woke up in an Office with work pending
and saw a tab in the left corner
A poem half written till I dozed off
Now I remember the hand prints were prompts
and the castles were half written poems
But why no Castle Stood on the beach
Because the wave wouldn’t let it
It’s never meant to stay
for new castles to come
the old has to go
forever and ever.
