It rained

i was about to leave when it started raining
so i had to stay back in office
but i did not feel like working
so i started writing this
but i dint know what to write
so i started thinking..
why does it not rain when i have an umbrella
why does it not rain when i can go out and dance
why does it not rain when i ve someone besides holding my hand
why does it not rain when i am about to cry walking on the road all alone
why does it not rain when i am on top of a beautiful mountain
why does the rain not make me happy today
there were days when it rained and i smiled
when i watched the rain for three hours sitting inside an AC bus
when i got drenched wearing the newest dress but still smiled
when i made tiny paper boats and followed them until they drowned
when i danced in the rain not worrying who was seeing me
when i jumped into all the pothholes splashing the dirty water
oh it has stopped raining
and i have to leave now
why did i want the rain to stop today
hope there is a day again
when i smile as i rains.

An Eventless Life

i saw them win
i saw them lose
i never won; but i never lost either.


i saw them laugh
i saw them cry
i hardly laughed, i hardly cried.


i saw them hug
i saw them fight
i never hugged, and i never fought


i saw her dance
i saw her play
i never danced, and never played.


i saw them become leaders
i saw them become followers
i never lead, but i never followed too.


they said she was beautiful
they said she was ugly
they never said i was beautiful, but not ugly too.


i saw them love
i saw them hate
i never loved, and i never hated too.


i saw them live
i saw them die
i never lived, oh but i will die someday


For all that i have done, and for all the i have not done
for all that i was, and for all that i was not
i call it an eventless life, but still, i love this life.
