A self confidence
One need not destroy self confidence
There may occur many incidences
You can remain true to your own conscience
You must react positively at once
People may try to influence by their sweet words
You must aim for higher and always look forward
You will be carried away by floods and swept
If you remain negligent and inapt
Many a times occasion may rise
You must act honest but look very wiser
If you are forced to take decision
That should be perfect and with precision
A person can be cheated once in life time
He may draw an appropriate lesson and act for time to come
The learning stage is over and it is now time to put in practice
You may be caught unaware if do not take notice
I have come across many friends who used to cry after failure
They had enough time and opportunity to prepare
It was left to delay and misguided by different advices
This all led to crisis and had to withdraw from promise
If promises were given then it must be honored
It must be adhered to with all options explored
Still if it is not feasible to implement or accede to
There must prevail some kind of willingness to concede
You need not act as philosopher to guide the people
They are ably assisted and probably very much capable
But still at some point of given time they are carried away
The opportunity which was on hand is slipped and given way
You do whatever you feel like to do
But take care to see that some part of it is near to truth
You will have some room left to explain your conduct
You can come out of it easily and assertively instruct
It is easy to cheat others convincingly
People may accept it also willingly
You may have no liability to admit on your part
Still that may drive you to feel apart
You may also present comfortably to world
Still it will hurt you from within and develop cold
It may not allow you peace of mind
You will not be able to have peace or find
Never kill a conscience even if lot of interest is at stake
It may make you restless and keep you all the time awake
You may loose all the peaceful environment and driven to discomfort
The ship may run aground even after reaching to safe port

An open up
You may invite me with open hand
Shower the love and beautifully garland
It may be remembered as unforgettable event
Unique opportunity or chance heavenly sent
I must greet the occasion with lot of fun fare
I know it won’t land me anywhere
If the heaven is to be found somewhere
Then it is definitely here and not there
I shall surrender to her charismatic skill
It may loose my face for shot sure kill
I may still go for it with strong will
There is time left for to wait still
I shall always think of betterment
There may still be glorious moments
The permanent bond is yet to be strengthened
I should remain soft and stand should not be hardened
At no stage she should feel let down
She must willingly offer but not with face frown
We may come to be known as true lover
We may last long as firm believer
She may offer everything at her disposal
She may burst with joy upon my arrival
I may still restrain and offer warm reception
I am very clear in approach with honest adoption
Never to forget but never to let
If it is plain truth and fact
I must cautiously behave and act
To fall in but not to react
You may remain in my house slot
There is reservation in holy plot
I was living like barren land
To make it greener you extended hand
You may remain forever hot
I am also boiling water in pot
It may be good if acted on spot
Anxiety may end with enjoyment lot
Come and stay as much as you can
I shall remain always your fan
See to it that it moves like train
I must get the seat without any rain
You may shower with all your sweats
It may also result in dry land to wet
What may emerge from it as new creation?
It won't remain there as mere recreation
We have into being for reality show
There may still be challenges to throw
It must have fine start with easy go
It must mushroom in time but not very slow
Every individual has his own way of dealing
He may come forward with intention of healing
Why not to act in earnest and work as healer?
Why to barter love for no stake and act as dealer
See it as door to enlightenment
Accept it as good sign with no comments
Life is tragedy and must be lived with full respect
One must peep into soul trajectory and inspect

Action and reaction
Every action has got reaction
Whether it is right or wrong action
You can't expect it to be human
When you present your self as inhuman
People are still tolerant
They still talk relevant
They only react when someone is unreasonable
No one may thing to land anybody in trouble
We are suffering from human lacuna
We are still wonderful animal in earth arena
We feel bad and sad in some of the cases
It reflects how sensitive we are on the faces
Since we move among the people of different kind
We got to be cooperative and can’t take it on mind
Some problems may occur from time to time
But you got to be reasonable every time
We blame social system for failure
It had been strong base for the years
We can’t come out of it over night
As it has remained all the time in sight
So whatever we do has got quick reaction
You try to be bad with people and find same action
No one may want lie down without fight back
As there will be enough to think for stake
We have protective theory and believe
We may go for immediate steps to relieve
In doing so if we got to be really careful
To balance the situation and remain unfearful

Simple Isolation
Not alone but together in isolation
Living with memory with solid bond and relation
Nothing has gone away or taken forcibly
You will be able to steer the course ably
I live by every moment
Past and present in silence without any comment
You are so near but still very far
I can remember you distinctly while looking at star
Not all the happiness can be realized
Not everything can be had or obliged
It is single journey and can be taken over
Person himself has to endure and find cover
At some sweet moment of time, you may be loved by many
You may be deceived very next moment and criticized by so many
These are the weak points to be faced by every individual
Somewhere to present as honest and somewhere to play as dual
Time may certainly be on you to remind your aloofness
This may be crucial time when you may feel badly about togetherness
The golden opportunity has passed of from your hand
It is proving very difficult to find reasonable end
Since you are left and deserted
You own will should matter and stand as inserted
An independent and peaceful empire should be created
Where you live happily without any feeling of being cheated

No Second Time
There can’t be second time for everything
Once missed then prepare for second thing
You can’t wait for thunder to strike
It has to any how come from the sky
Some of things are universal and can’t be changed
Animals may have striping on body and hence remain unchanged
We got to accept for our neglect and failure
Nothing in this world can be taken for sure
You will have to seize the opportunity
That is best sign and good quality
Nothing comes second time for good
You must strike and come out of wood
Prepare in advance for striking gold
That can only happen when you are bold
Don’t retrace steps at once failure
Double the efforts and make it sure
There is no first second or last chance
It comes in life time only once and not twice
See to it that you are keeping good promises
Proves to the point and never misses
Wait for one and that to last time
Think it may never return anytime
So seize it with force and never let go
Little negligence or skip means life time forgo

Choice of Life Time
Yes it can be called choice of life time
Anybody can go wrong anytime
Yet the bridge of love must remain intact
Peaceful drive in life boat is reality and fact
Where do we land if that goes missing?
What will be left behind for chasing?
Life will turn dry as an arid land
We all must condemn.if any, such trend
Life is not that easy and confined to one field
The stand taken once should not be permanently held
Some times it turns out to be ugly and boring
The other partner gets sick and goes for snoring
At given point in start we may confine to particular feeling
As the time moves on, it is certainly felt killing
Some new problems pour in and you get frustration
Even though it may have nothing to do in relation
Female can be considered as sex object
But not that all the time you over react
It has got its relevance in initial years
It may grow steadily without any fears
It will be one of the ideal relationships
It will go on strengthening the companionship
There won’t be any bitterness so far is the relation concerned
Every opportunity may be explored and table turned
So let us strengthen bond and enjoy the rest
The efforts should be on to extract the best
If nothing comes out of it then must be left to luck
Something else should be taken on hand without being struck

M.E. Time
This is me time
To do what I gotta do
So please just let me be
I've always been there for you
Yes it's me time
I owe you no apology
You've had nearly all I've got
Now I must be on my way
Because it's me time
I just wanna be on my own
I'll do what's best for me
So I need to be left alone
Yes this is me time
I just need to do some thinking
Some peace and tranquility
You know I won't be drinking
For it's me time
Can you see it in my eyes
I need some time for me
I've always hated goodbyes
This is me time
I can deal with the physical pain
It can't really hurt me
I think I'm just staying sane
This is just me time
I've gotta think of number one
Instead of everyone else
To undo all the knots I've done
I just need some me time
Do things I feel I need to do
I've nothing left to give
It isn't me this time it's you.
I need my me time
I am trying to make you understand
That it's not easy being me
So with a virtual wave of my hand
this is me time,
time for just myself
I'll be in touch some day
when I'm in better health

A magnetic pull
It is always good to remain blessed
All familiar faces liked by you remain traced
You are at free will to dream in wonderland
As there is no dearth to find the friends
The God has installed a magnetic pull
It can make any sensible person a perfect fool
He may always think his life is at peril and not full
There prevails complete isolation, peace and lull
To fill such void you really need dramatic change
This is not unnatural and comes off with the age
It must take place with all but with varying degrees
As it may take long time to think and agree
It is good to be a part of love game at an early age
The position of an individual is like tiger in cage
He has all the killer’s instinct but forbidden
All sorts of restrictions are on and heavily laden
The love in young age is still matter of joke
It evaporates in air like thick smoke
Person gets little jolted with failure
But makes resolve not to repeat it in future
Some times I dream about old age love
It may have same repercussions when comfortably drove
It has same ripples going up and coming down
The joy is almost doubled when immediately becomes known
It has mature feeling with little to loose
As you have grown with age and enough to choose
Since the sex is pushed to back burner
It gets its new color for the beginner
There is lot more to feel and ignore
It has less demand but anxiety is more
It has come to you in the autumn season
There is yet no compulsion for any reason
Sometimes I feel like to be a young boy
Even though the age is passed to play with toys
There is definitely hidden enjoyment with joy
You mix with friends without making any ploy
The transformation from young to that of old is very dangerous
The delay in realization of some appetite makes it erroneous
You are loosing some best moments of life at little discomfort
You miss it from heart and wait some kind of ship to anchor at port
There may not be complete lust behind
Yet it can’t be ruled out with reasons to find
There is definite angle to go for it with its fulfillment
Even though there may not any firm commitment
The intensity and attachment may not lack ion any sense
Only thing that it may not have any idea of nonsense
It will have real intent behind to go for little peace
Life is to be spent with calmness and at ease

A attempt to lie
It did not pinch me when I attempted to lie
It never occurred to mind and raised the question, why?
I had no symptoms of feeling shy
It was desperate but worth try
I was seized with lot of worries
I was unable to live with ease
There was enough of guilt to release
I did not correct myself and allowed the opportunity to miss
Was it going to remain as one time affair?
I did not consider it proper and fair
I knew one day I will be called liar
People may disregard and cut satire
I knew it from the beginning very well
The sky was not going to fall or let loose the hell
I was trying to escape momentary set back
Had I not gone for it, it might have developed some cracks?
I did it because it thought it right
I didn’t want unnecessary fight
I could sense the darkness in light
I knew it was deviation but only slight
“You tell he untruth” if it helps the cause
Not enough truth behind it because
It gives rise to unethical behavior
You can’t act as somebody’s savior
The lie may remain lie and wrong a wrong
You can’t clam credit for it and sing a song
It is not wisdom or show of any intelligence
It is draw back and some sort of negligence
It must bite your conscience and inner thought
At what cost some good result may be brought?
It may sever momentarily some happiness
Your soul may revolt and will not with cleanliness
It varies from person to person
There is no particular reason
You may weigh pro and cons
It is still business of none
You may resent it later on
The battle may be won
The result may also yield
You may feel desertion in field
Not all brave people can perform this feat
It requires some talent to beat
You must be in position to catch on the heat
Your eyes may not be in position to meet
It is game and there is no win
The unrest may be clearly seen
Until you go and accept the guilt
The inner peace can’t be built
Practicise it when you feel it may cause damage
Think of the consequences which you are unable to manage
It has to be one time affair or in exceptional case
It should not be made as practice or thought base

With a reason
It did not appeal
In fact I sensed it unreal
The bell in holy place was sounding
With impact on mind and pounding
Priest was trying to wake up the Lord
Or was trying to air the holy word
Whatever it may be but certainly a wake up call
Ideal prayer time in the morning for all
I have thought over it number of times
But found no clue any of the time
I was becoming prisoner of conscience
I tried to give close look and thought at once
We all claim to have God inside us
Whatever performed is as per His wish
We are simple tool and helpless
So we bear innocence on the face
This has taken me to the conclusion
Let there remain no confusion
We can't trouble him for our action
As we know good has good and bad has equal reaction
Then why we go and try to awake?
Why so much of our doing is at stake?
I find no answer and keep quiet
The best way is to remember nothing and forget
It has nothing to do with any religion
When we leave peace messages with pigeons
We are at peace with out side world
But turning different in side and feel cold
I feel great sense of relief
When pray Him for brief
Not at fixed time but any time of the day
Whenever find spare time at home or on the way
I have observed myself completely at ease
Energy cycle is on and waiting to release
The rays of happiness is for the person
Who has concern for others and self with reason

For Poems
Three reads for every one poem written
As if food for body is regularly taken
How ocean has rare species in its belt
Same way the presence of each poet is felt
If we can appreciate and read
They are the futures and to lead
With all their fancy and innovative views
We need to pay attention and dues
We got to swim if we are in
This is logic and trend has been
If we don’t read theirs
They want prove to us as their heirs
It is encouragement and positive drive
As it is must for them to survive
If we fail to recognize their talent
What is use to remain idle or to reserve the comment
Time and tide may come and go
Some of things we have to forgo
We may not have time for death
How can we expect for other people to come and lay the wreath
It will be nice if we remain loosely connected
Within nice ambit and convincingly pre-acted
They may come up with double of efforts
As people of board may cheer while reaching at ports
You m ay never find bank or shore
You got to think and positively explore
We have no time in this fast moving world
But hardly can we afford to remain complacent or cold

A blatant lie
He lied to me on every occasion
I had all the reservations but no confusion
He was do close to me and very good friend
I saw good opportunity to change him at the end
How can you deceive a person?
Why do you act contrary without any reason?
Why all people stick to the norms including seasons?
Do the parents keep different attitude to their daughter and son?
Such things don’t exist but still it prevails
We can notice it in language when receive the mails
They speak of different tone
The relation go in vane and simply undone
It has nothing to do with blood relation
It is mere extension or facilitation
Its pulse is felt from within
It may come in purest form and pour in
We shut our eyes when realize the gravity
We may soon find out its utility
It may not find favor for its continuity
There develops cracks in unity
It may impair the relation and develop some thaw
You may be compelled to compromise or forgo
You may hesitate for a moment to withdraw
There is nothing left now for anything to draw
You are likely to loose your peace of mind
He might have been thorough out the period very kind
It was unparallel and was never to be found again
The trust once lost can’t be earned or regained
It pinches heart and some grief is felt
The anger may take over and not melt
You may not like it to open again and again
All your attempts may be to take caution and refrain
It may compel you to make some mends
You may cautiously move with some amends
It has done enough damage beyond control
You may certainly feel bad and short of goal
It crates deep scar and impact
The heart is filled with grief in fact
You may not find the way to react
You got to make it good by enough tact
Many of your close relatives may be lying
They may have different version at the time of dieing
It has to be taken on face value and understand
If you can do this then you will find favorable stand
Even your enemy may not stab you from the back
He may be your sworn enemy but not attack
It has to be taken as reality and experience at all the stages
Even your friends may some time surprise you in your age

A Crystal Clear Man
In the poetry world,
I have been simple and humble,
Describing myself
In a few concise words
Letting my honest feelings go
Freely through my works...
Getting back up,
Every time I stumbled...
There has been the time
When I wrote a poem
Without any rhyme,
Getting nice comments
Or some no so kind...
Nevertheless, I realized that wisdom
No necessarily improve with age,
Specially, when one's image
Dangerously at stake,
However, some people are funny,
Some people are so obviously fake
That they are only good on stage...
With their signatures stamped
In the bottom of a lost page,
In the dark, they just remain...
Their limited knowledge
They can't expand,
Dying lonely, frustrated
And without fame
Since, in the real world,
Some people might look alike,
But they are not the same..
There are names in my mind
I can no longer record,
Names lost in time,
Names lost in space...
But, you will never succeed
In driving me insane,
That is the truth, indeed..
I am letting you know
How I really feel...
Now I am left alone
Without a choice,
But, to let the music plays...

Sweet people
You may find the sweet people
With sugar coated words and very much capable
To deceive you in single moment
To leave you behind for whole life to resent
Think twice before buying easy
That may make you quiet happy
But believe not a single word
You will then reap a reward
There is no dearth for such talent
You need to attend no school or remain present
It is inbuilt quality and inherent
Of course not gifted by parents
One thing is certain and sure to bother
We take joy and pride to fool others
We forget for seconds about plight
That may be faced by person to fight
Believe your own eyes and act wise
You may find many people with hollow promises
Do as your own conscience permits
Act whatever you feel alright and deem fit

I Shall Regret
I shall regret for being straight forward
People call me, in fact, escapist and coward
I believe in my capacity to handle the situation
Otherwise it can definitely lead to unsolvable questions
I may be called even emotional fool
As I care too much for being helpful
I act like child to make them happy
Rush to the help and always stand ready
My personal life is in doldrums
I had happy moments and sweet dreams
But things didn’t turn up well to my expectation
Leading to break up with severance in relation
I spend restless nights with thoughts in mind as what to do?
How to handle it when they come up and are nearly true?
May be the situation not favor with my luck
Where ever I try but get bogged down or struck
I feel helpless and unsecured
No help is forthcoming or assured
I am man of hard resolve and dedication
So remain unperturbed without suffocation
I feel sometimes very weak from inside
The area of disagreement becomes very wide
Not all angles can be taken care off
Some where we have to start or stop
I am be impracticable in dealing
But it is aimed at to help for healing
Not money or material help is needed at that time
Few words of affection can create miracles sometimes
I may still be looked as undesirable
But I know my limit and feel capable
Can come out from blue and demonstrate will
But people may have to realize it still
I will not mind at all if they blame
The situation will still remain same
I may not change way of living and style
As I think it may certainly help me to walk for a mile
I shall frankly pray to almighty for causing pain
Knowingly or unknowing in their mind for my action
I think it may go off from their mind as time may pass
World may realize my endeavor in earnest with class
I am no philosopher but understand the normal values
People must get full attention or whatever has been due
In this troubled world who has the time to care for sentiments?
Life has taught them to be uncared for and pass adverse comments

I feel great
I feel great when see the sunshine
Everything around makes me feel so fine
I sit quietly on table and happily dine
I inwardly thank all as if they are all mine
One must feel contended with whatever available
It moulds you to the situation and makes determined and capable
No situation can force you to flee from the scene
As this is only weakness generally seen
With all the blessings from the almighty
I still feel unsafe and feel pity
Some of the feelings make me uneasy
Even though I try to keep self very busy
It has nothing to do with my fate
I can fearlessly stand alone and state
Yet I know how uncertain the life is!
Everything to gain but lot more to miss
What is worrying me all the times?
Is it the accumulation of wealth sometimes?
Fall in health occasionally or any time
I don’t contribute it wholly or prime
It bothered me much about next adventure
It is not related to smooth travel in future
It has something to do with life time efforts
To live with harmony and good rapports
These all helped me to think positively
I had driven in this direction successively
I was not very much attached or possessive
But it definitely forced me to be obsessive
When it becomes apparent that you are living world
You feel some fear and develop the cold
It is natural phenomena taking place with everyone
Only people with stubborn mind care for none
It is greatest asset that you have it before hand
You know very well that nothing accompanies you till the end
It is running after illusory things with no purpose
One may suppose always but can’t easily dispose

Dangerous Thoughts
At one point of time I dangerously thought
Lot many ideas came and bravely fought
None of them were meant to be useful
They were all bound to make me unsuccessful
'Idle mind is devil's workshop' I feel it right
No one should take it casually or light
There is heavy impetus in it and needs study
Whole concept itself is beautiful and praise worthy
'One must end the life' to test the another world
It may be looking beautiful with many features and fold
Such things invade and make mind shaky
Compel us to do the unusual things and make unhappy
Remain among family members when feel such tendency
It should not occur often and at regular frequency
It speaks of defeatist views and helpless stage
It comes in mind when faced by failure or due to age
One should be cautious enough to repeal those views
That can push individual to the advices of few
It is likely that no end solution may ever be found
One may certainly be driven from the reality of ground
Life should not be reduced to boredom
Vacuum should be avoided and felt seldom
There are many ways to keep busy
Life can be made really easy
No one can deny about life and its hollowness
Yet we are here to live with and bravely face
Not all people may be born with silver spoon
One will have to face the hot sun in afternoon
Think of those souls who are short of everything
They are provided with no means or anything
They live the life of useless animal and suffer
We are at least far better and in position to offer
Keep busy all the time and live with pleasure
Life may have ups and down but nothing is sure
You may be on the top of the height at one time
At the bottom very next moment sometimes

Deep in rain
I was forced to admit and explain
As the feelings had grown deep in rain
The seeds of love were planted to be grown
I had no other option but to own
It was almost near to the truth
I was in love which was in fact worth
I had no hesitation in saying few words
As it had blessings from the Lord
She occupies pivotal position and remains at the centre
I wished it to happen and silently prayed for her to enter
I sensed the heart was beating slow and skipping often
I had decided to go ahead even when no nod was given
You have all the freedom to decide the future course
You have all the liberty to decide against of course
It shall amount to nothing such as denial or refusal
For me it would remain as sound and good proposal
I am not weak at heart and leave the scene
I may feel dejection but that is naturally to be seen
It shall not be that easy to forget some of golden moments
It shall be inappropriate and inadvisable to offer any comments
Time may be drawn near and I shall be gripped with cold
I shall be left alone when some one may refuse to accompany in world
I shall not hesitate to express it in clear terms
Whether it may be considered as per tradition or norms
I will never blame about time and real choice
It was done without much ado and noise
Even as on today you are perfect match
I had dreamed of you and ceaselessly preferred to watch
I am not good at using appealing words
That might have been wanted as pre-condition to look forward
I thought it over number of times but in process miserably failed
I think of it now that I have not seized opportunity or availed
Even birds prefer to have their own nest
They do want and try desperately with zest
We have human mind and think of closer bond
It is expected that some one very dear must respond
I knew my love may speak for itself
It shall not be thrown to remain at sea shelf
It is treasured one and must find place
I am not blind person to get involved in mad race
It must find its place with acceptance
I want it to be accepted at once
I don’t think it needs any exposure
But few reassuring words to make it sure

A minute away
I am minutes away from leaving this world
I remain unmoved and don’t develop any cold
It is time bid good bye and prepare for final departure
I remain calm and as usual not very sure
It is final count down and whistle is likely to blow
There won’t be any movement and body may go slow
It will slowly calm down with no sign of life
It has to leave for heavenly abode when it stops to breathe
There is sense of satisfaction on my face
Soon I will be lost and run out of race
Body may be cremated and here won’t be any trace
I shall unite there at my place with His grace
There nothing much to worry as I leave with satisfaction
Everything moved satisfactorily with all my actions
Now time has come and it will be soon over in fraction of seconds
I swim and sink for fresh air as fish in the ponds
The soul may not depart that easily for the want of desire
All relatives gather and all past deeds admire
It is their wish that I should depart without any pain
They pray for it and wish it should not go in vain
How one can see a person who remained so close for a long?
He might have caused damage or done something wrong
Still at the end of the time they wish happy journey
Everybody leaves behind bad memory including money
There remains desire for oasis water
We run all the time for needs to cater
Its futility will be realized at the end of tour
We may be leaving behind dark patches or slur
It is wisdom on the part of individual to rise
Act as honest man and possibly to remain wise
It is to be borne in mind for no regret at the time of demise
It will definitely take over with everybody’s surprise
There won’t be any time left for any regret
You must pass the things or allow letting
What is bound to happen may happen
It will be too late then
I always wished that end must be happy
It must be peaceful and without any worry
No one should be afraid of loosing the body
It may happen sooner or later to everybody
What do we leave behind for youngsters?
Who else will take care of our brothers and sisters?
This is routine matter and may take its own course
You should feel nothing and have any remorse

I'm Not Perfect
I'm (x8)
Had we met at a different time we'd be perfect for each other,
Now were spending all our time, in this world come together,
My heart is aching, from all the love your giving,
Were not faking, is this the life were living?
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
Now i'm right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
I feel right on time,
More and more we are together, tryin to discover,
I see a flicker in your eye, are you lookin for somethin better?
You once told me lying on the ground, but keep goin up and down, yo!
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
Now i'm right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
I feel right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
Now i'm right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
I feel right on time,
Why waste it thinkin about it? taste it,
Don't waste it thinkin about it, taste it,
It really doesn't matter wherever i may go,
We're tied together, that's one thing we both know, yo!
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
Now i'm right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
I feel right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
Now i'm right on time,
I'm not perfect, but i'm perfect for you,
I feel right on time,
Right on time, i feel on time tonight, i right on time, i feel right on time,
Right on time, i feel on time tonight, i right on time, i feel right on time,
Right on time, i feel on time tonight, i right on time, now i'm right on time,

Invisible
Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually even here:
If the space where I am supposed to be is, indeed, just clear.
Stood in a queue, a man walked in, and got served first:
It makes me so annoyed, that I feel like I want to burst.
Do people just not actually see me standing there?
Or is it because I’m so quiet, they basically just don’t care?
People don’t seem to worry how long, I may have been waiting.
Although, my pushiness factor doesn’t score that high a rating!
Sometimes in the street, I say ‘hi! ’ to people who I see,
But they don’t even react and just look straight through me.
When a guard on a train enters my carriage, and shouts ‘Tickets please! ’
How come he bypasses me and it’s only everyone else he sees?
When a person acknowledges that I was next in line, I’m very grateful,
But people who push in front of me, I find just very hateful.
When people queue jump, maybe I look the type, who won’t say anything,
And, maybe, that makes them feel important, just like a king.
If going round a room asking for input, a teacher got sidetracked,
Very rarely, to me, to ask for my opinion, would they come back.
Everyone is important, and everyone really matters.
If people are ignored, their confidence gets battered.
Doesn’t it ever matter to you, what I may think?
I always seem to be the invisible missing link!
If people can see and if, in their head, they’ve got eyes.
The fact that I’m stood there, how can they not realise?
Feeling invisible most of the time is certainly no joke;
I sometimes feel as if I’m wearing an invisibility cloak!
But, when I did my drama exam, I wasn’t ignored,
And, my sense of being, up to the sky, really soared.
That was my moment: it was my moment in time,
And I took the opportunity to prove, that I really could shine.
Maybe I just need to learn to appear as though I’m bold,
So as I no longer feel that I’m being left out in the cold.
