I live in past;
Reminiscing over my beautiful memories.
I live in dreams;
Thinking they are fairer than realities.
I live in future;
Imagining of a better closure.
When will I live the present;
And just be present in it.
When will I shake myself off;
For better, for worse.
The smile I created
To hold back the tears…
The jokes I made
To try ease up my sanity…
The laugh I faked
To hide me from my selfdom…
But Who am I kidding?
Me or remaining?
End of the day,
Did I get to see myself?
Or did I acquaint with my faint shadow
And just watched it fading away farther…
Wasn’t that me who put dust in my eyes?
To bewitch my realm of existence;
Wasn’t that me who blew spells over my ears?
Hoping a voodoo trance of clock and anti-clock;
Maybe I was destined to create this;
A stranger inside me, drifting ever so maddened;
By the mind trapeze, magnetized…
Beyond ever, the fact of time…
