It fills me with pain,
To watch my child wait for one last rain.
This guilt is driving me insane,
To see his angelic smile go all in vain.
His journey's been a short on the life's train,
And I can't do anything but curse the lord and complain.

I couldn't even hold him for one last time,
Not even the doctors gave me any hope by saying it's all gonna be fine.
With all this useless dirty money of mine,
I couldn't even protect this child of nine.
Never prayed or ever visited a shrine,
Now my tears won't stop as I'm begging the divine.

It's not the time to cry,
A gun isn't difficult to find, and a pleasing thought came by,
Can't keep living a life so empty and awry,
Thus when he breathes his last, SO WILL I.

-

The suffering is just too painful to bear,
Family and friends are just too ignorant to care.

All the pleas and requests fall on deaf ears,
Eyes are far too tired to shed even one tear.

A gloom had always followed me from the rear,
A toothy smile on this face had always been rare.

"No one will ever hold you dear",
Is all I could ever hear.

-

Looking for a familiar face,
These exhausted sunken eyes crave for a dream,
Left home without any trace,
Feels like emptiness is my life's theme.

Had some good days here,
Days with a two-time meal,
It's only been less than a year,
Sometimes, my brain refuses to realize that it's all real.

-

Lay the dead memories in their caskets,
Pack what's left in a basket.

Left town for a luxuriant life in the city,
Expected it to be all happy and pretty.

No ceiling over these wandering eyes,
No being to hear these pitiful cries.

Nostalgic about those golden days,
No stress on what anybody says.

Hope one day, we'll sit down together,
And laugh with each other,
No amount of happiness can evn measure,
All those pleasant days of summer.

-

Desirous of a good night's sleep,
Neither does my heart weep,
Nor has any secrets to keep,
Still don't know why it feels so uneasy in deep.

Maybe wants me to remember,
The friend I lost in September?
Perhaps the upcoming tests in November?
Or maybe even the warm scented Marigolds in December.

Hurt a lot of people this year,
Many of them I held dear,
Just because of one fear,
If only life was easier to steer...

-

What am I going to do with you, Death, you, who spares no one?
You don’t know happiness, you don’t know how to love fun.

Our presence overcame all fears, and with me every hour was a happy one.
It hurts to admit but I must accept that my time has finally come.

Oh! Don't let her see me, I can't see her cry,
I hate the fact but now she has another coffin to buy.

I bid thee farewell, with no tears,
See you in the next one,
Cheers!

-

I want someone to take me home,
When I'm wandering on the street all alone

I want someone to make me laugh,
When everyone tries to cut my pride in half

I want someone to care,
When I keep complaining that life's not fair

I want someone to sing me to sleep,
When all the monsters start to creep.

But deep inside I know,
The world's gonna kill me slow.
Is a friend too much to ask?
Is surviving in this world such a difficult task?

-

As my school life draws to an end,
Can't help but say I'll miss my friends.

John, who beat up others,
Kathy, who collected feathers.

Fred, who crushed on the English teacher,
Josh, who earned a movie feature.

Sam, who always got into trouble,
Mathematics was a never-ending struggle.

Maya, and the weird bicycle she rode,
Richard, who cried but never showed.

Bob, who lived to eat,
Tom, whose art was an amazing feat.

Harris, the Principal's boy,
Pam, not one whom she would not annoy.

Therefore,
As the best years of my life draw to a close,
I hope that for just once, time froze.

-

Everyday, a little part of me dies,
They keep asking,"Why Don't you ever try?"
Always want to but I'm never gonna cry,
My days are like a frost in July.

They say,"You're nothing but sick and sly,"
Saw my world burn right before my eyes,
All my thoughts you terrorize,
Why is it always me who is jeopardised?
