Sometimes…

You want to be the part of the celebrations

but you end up being a silent spectator on the other side of the window.

You feel like hugging someone and saying,’thank you’

but instead you end up staying two steps away.

You feel like jumping in the rain

but you end up blanketing your wishes inside the slicker.

You feel like smiling at someone

but you fade out picturing their response.

You feel like saying ‘get lost’

but you end up saying a pleasing ‘Hi’!

You want to be strong and say ‘NO’

but you end up saying ‘as you wish Dad’.

You feel like going back to the good old days

but you just end up smiling quietly at all the memories.

You feel like making someone understand

but you end up letting out all your anger instead

and shutting them out..

You want to still hold onto it  but you end up tossing it all on the floor.

You feel like discarding all your limits and escaping somewhere but you end up chasing your track back.

You feel like saying ‘I love you’ to someone but end up saying just a ‘take care’.

Sometimes you just feel…

Sometimes..
