The Rebel Inside Us







Trrnngg goes the alarm again

Breaking my tranquil dream

I think that five more minutes would do no harm

But my mind says - "No"

And I listen to it.



The rain is lashing down the earth,

I see kids enjoying its coolness

My heart yearns to join them and become a kid again,

But my mind says - "No"

And I listen to it.



I see my love again,

Making my body go numb again.

My heart yearns to tell those three words

But my mind says - "No"

And I listen to it.



I see people thronging cinema halls and parks,

Having the time of their life..

I want to be just like them,

Having no worries...

I take the first step towards it

But, then, my mind says "No"

And I listen to it...



Safe inside my mind I hide,

Waiting for a new dawn to come,

And break the shackles holding me.

Safe inside my mind I hide,

To come out when I'm new again...

  1. good one avi..

    this again seems as a post- a sort of sequel to the previous post- the one on the road less travelled- but by now, you would have realized that the new dawn is umpteen times worthy than the occasions enjoyed by others in the poem.

    wish you good luck to complete the journey on the road less travelled.
