Time and Place

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

Bryan White

Ariel had long locks, Noddy’s house was on the wheels…
Little did the small girl’s wish list knew,
How bad does a broken heart feel!

The empty arenas have nothing to do with my tune,
The magical kingdom is too far away from my small room.


There is a time & place for everything you dream,
That’s why it doesn’t make much sense now…
Felt so precious when I was fourteen!


Somewhere one day, I found someone just like me…
Having the time of her life, living the dreams that I am allowed to only see.


Still I feel the same euphoria building inside,
I am proud of her, and happy too…
At least someone got what they needed by their side.


There is a time & place for everything you want,
May be to speak your heart out but sometimes you just can’t!


When my voice is blended with the echo of my favorite song,
That feeling makes me forget everything that is going wrong.


I am aware of all the side glances,
I can hear them calling me crazy & dumb…
But I eventually found out this is much better,
Than having my little heart to always feel numb!


It’s true that there is a time & place for everything that you love,
But some dreams never die…
They will grow up with you and just like stars, they will shine above!

The Ordinary Road

To those who are wandering on the road, so afraid to miss the view…
To those who have worn a fragile mask of pride, I was once like you.
To those who are feeling uneasy, to those who are feeling blue…
To those who are secretive and silent, listen to this story – it holds something for you.  

I’ve passed through giant crowds, I’ve crossed mountains & seas…
Time never speaks – how ‘Tomorrow’ comes in a breeze.  
I have been like you, like him, like all these Random People in the city…
How was I supposed to cope up in a universe full of witty?  

I once had everything I wished for, everything for which I tried…
But they were all gone forever, in the blink of an eye.  
I have had too many questions in my mind…
Until I saw that the answer was always there – in “The Ordinary Road” behind.  

In the past I have destroyed everything, wanting to leave forever…
I fell into a deep-dark pit, losing faith in my endeavor.  
I was hopeless, yet longing for something I had before…
I have been like you, like her, like all these Random People Next Door…  

I have been disappointed, despairing, & losing my direction bad…
Then one day, I saw that the answer lay in “The Ordinary Road” ahead . 

While you are fantasizing about tomorrow, wondering if it will be better or worse…
It’s just another day for me, to let my perseverance immerse.      

You struggle, you fail! You learn to live with a burden & a sad tale.
Though you make bad choices along the way,
never give up even when you bear hardships every day.

You are not home until the road ends,
& it will keep moving, whatsoever your story pretends.  

Keep walking like this, even when the wind blows hard…
Just keep going on, even if something has been torn apart.

The realization of missing something, will shake your faith to the core…
Only if you keep on believing your dreams, the road will allow you to walk more.  

To those who are wandering on the road, so afraid to miss the view…
Have you been listening closely now, for the road have always something new?
The road is far and long, carrying mysterious and hushed stories along…
Don’t lose all your hope & heart, for the road is your destination since the start.
