MERCILESS

The debt needs to be cleared;

I am going insane,

and to regain my sanity I need beer. 

But I have quit. 

Yet every bit;

Of my body is craving for countless sips. 

I am tired of these untimely kips,

I wanna sleep a good night sleep;

But every time I try I trip

Trip over these responsibilities that are haunting and stinkingly daunting. 

I am supposed to get married at 27

The priest said so,

It is not him but the stars have communicated this

From the heaven,

To whom we pray. 

I need to buy a house

And then a car too.

This burns a hole in my core. 

I am sore 

With no one to take care. 

No one warned me that life was going to be so unfair. 

One girl whom I fell in love with madly. 

I broke her heart, badly. 

I too was broken and shattered. 

But I couldn't reflect hence catered

to the needs of everyone. 

But 

Now I am fucking done. 

Every-time I close my eyes

I find myself screeching to be freed 

of these shackles invisible to the human cornea. 

I want my bloody narnia. 

I keep banging my fists against this wall. 

My knuckles are bleeding, I want to crawl

my way out somehow. 

This dungeon keeps getting darker and darker everyday. 

It is turning into a pit.

A pit that is bottomless. 

And I keep falling deeper and deeper 

And my loved ones are just a mere audience that is

Merciless and hopeless and clueless.

THE FINAL FLIGHT

I was bought and 

brought to entertain.

No, they could not understand my pain. 

You see that

We don't speak the same tongue. 

I'd sight the sky 
from where I was strung.

I was fed 

when they felt I would be hungry.

They would give me leftover or sundry.  

I used to cry loud and 

flutter around in this cage.  

They would think I am trying to mock up a stage. 

Sometimes my fellow comrades would come and 

empathise with me. 

But as the footsteps approach they would fly and 

hide away in the tree. 

I guess they didn't want to be prisoned. 

I had company for a little while.

A fluffy beast with paws 

would swing by sometimes. 

By now I had no strength left to entertain

I assume that my throat didn't listen to my brain. 

I would pass out in the middle of the noon. 

I understood that I am gonna get freed soon. 

Freed of this cage. 

One fine day my human left the door unlocked. 

I was so weak that I couldn't escape. 

The fluffy beast sat there and 

mocked me on being powerless. 

I gathered all my strength and tried to take the flight. 

But too my plight I hit the door and fell. 

The beast saw this opportunity and 

freed me from the living hell.
