Tired Soul!

Yes, I am tired!
Tired of waiting for you,
Yes, I am tired!
Tired of looking out for you.
Yes, I am tired,
Tired of getting my hopes high
Every time I look at you,
Seems like my stomach has butterflies
Do you even like me?
Or was it just a crush?
Are you ever gonna ask me!
Or waiting for me to move first?
Do you even think of me?
Because all I think is of you
Do you even want me?
I have been wondering that too.
Shit as hell, life has been
I give up on you today
not that it would make any difference to you.

Who am I?

When I am young, you sprinkle water on me,

When I am huge, you lay me off for amenities,

You build your home with bits of my blood,

But you run towards me when out of breath.

I recently saw a trailer full of timber wood,

Pushing its way out of the neighborhood,

Were those trees fully grown?

Or did you cut them before they could even moan?

I watched a few of you plant trees on the porch,

I was relieved to see humanity restored,

But then, someone yelled, ‘grow trees, save the earth,’

Posing for the camera and the cheer for what it’s worth.

The world has changed as the economy,

If you cut me down for a reason, grow more of me,

Don’t fall short of kindness and humanity,

And don’t keep me alive as a courtesy.

I am not human, I am a tree,

I am alive now, but who knows what the next moment could be?

You could either let me breathe or let me die,

But you won’t possibly know unless you try.

Deforestation seems about me,

And all it is to you is about charity,

But let me remind you of a real-life lesson,

Humans only breathe because of me.

 

Tickle down your spine!

I am running against the time,

I am a flip of a coin,

I am a tickle down your spine,

What am I?

You are chasing me down a tunnel,

You are living amidst few kennels,

You are cycling without a peddle,

Who are you?

She breathes on the air you exhale,

She stomps feet as light as snail,

She is chasing you down by tail,

Where is she?

He is walking towards you still,

He senses you but you can't feel,

He mustn't rewind you onto the reel,

Why did he?

We have grown with years of experience,

We went from shy to bold and boring to mysterious,

We grew close and fell apart through periods

When did we?

I am everything you dream of but never achieve,

You are everything I aspire but can never be,

She is on a dream of beauty, health and happiness that I never attain,

He is long gone years that you constantly crave,

We walked miles and miles and never moved on,

It is the life and today that we constantly refine upon!
