My Motto for Life

Everybody has something
In common.
Guess what?

Desire to live?

Ain’t that the common factor?

But does everyone make

His life count;

In every breath of his life.

Remember no one is born great;

It is our choice.

Our decision.

Whether to adopt

Mastery or mediocrity.

Realise the purpose

Of your life.

It is better to die,

Than to live a mediocre life.

Leave a mark

On this world.

Let it remember you.

Learn from every living being

And teach them

What you know.

Live for the world,

And the world will live for you.

Live for you,

And you will die

An unnoticed organism.

Harbinger Of Hope

Born for a reason

I knew.

But things around me

Made me think, otherwise.

And that's when struggle came in.

I felt the heat

Melting me,

My courage, my mettle.

I felt the world turn
It's back on me.

There was darkness everywhere;

But then I saw a ray of light.

I went across my pitch black world

Jumping over the obstacles;

But I couldn't reach the ray of light.

Then I realised that

The ray gave me hope.

It was a ray of hope.

And the obstacles weren't obstacles;

But teachers,

Who taught me to accomplish

My destiny.

Define Me

You define me as the Almighty.

You define me as the Supreme Self.

But do you know

Who I really am?

You search in the dark corners
For me.

You chant hymns so that

I may appear before you.

But think; you have left out a place,

A sanctum.

‘YOU’

Within you, I rest;

I’m with you from birth till death.

Do you want to know

Who I really am?

I’m a figment

No, I’m more than a figment
I’m a part of your subconscious

Which tells you

What’s right and what’s wrong.

I’ve defined myself to you

Now, you define me.

The Limelight

The paparazzi pursued a figure,

A thespian.

She was dazzling in her outfit,

The flash bursts made her look literally like a star;

The star-struck people gathered around her

With placards and banners.

She had attained stardom.

But what I could see was her silhouette,

Coz I couldn’t find her genuine self.

The glare of publicity had covered up
Her own self.

Should this be the attitude?
She fails to realize that the Limelight
Lives short.
