My worst poem yet!

Just when you think you've seen it all,
A brand new picture is on the wall.
The world throws at you some more
A whole new perspective or old lore.

Wake up to find the same old streets
Adorned, painted in a different light
The same old people that you may meet
Today have a different story to cite.

A lifetime of struggle against yourself,
Against the world, and by your kin.
Trophies of life up on your shelf
Hiding scars of the past and buried sin.

Living amidst conventions and rules,
Afraid to breach these time tested walls.
Among unsung heroes and celebrated fools,
Plays the bittersweet symphony in ironic halls.

Open up today your can of hope,
And gulp it down with a forced smile
For this is what it takes to walk the rope,
Today a metre, tomorrow a mile.

Your eyes do fine, what does your mind see?
Left to yourself, what in this world would you be?
Churn out the beast within or awaken the bard,
The universal truth being; Life eej Hard. - Mintrox.

Eatable Quotes - Realization

Fore' you deal with the world,
Deal with your world.

Phew!

I havent been able to write in a while. The courses are as much to blame as is my lack of motivation. And nothing seems to have changed now either except that my exams are over. I'm just putting this up in anticipation of the resurrection measures towards my half dead blog. The next few posts will be more on the lines of a purgation of the mind, rather than an ode to creativity.

Its been an educating semester, apart from being a painful one. But then, as a friend put it, life gets more interesting when there is a challenge involved. So, hopeful as ever, I'm looking forward to some much needed damage control over the summer. Will be back with more fundae later on.
