Your 1000 excuses don't quench my thirst
I am the one, who places you right at first
Reasons meaningless and dry
A billion times I still try

For I fail to reach the zenith untold
I walk and strive to unfold
Dreams all break and prick my feet
Dishonor is all I meet

For darkness knows no confines
I run and pray at several shrines
For bare this soul, cries and wails
Times passes quick, I crawl like snails...

- Chayan Jain
