Being a common man.

Since last two years, I have been experiencing a severe poet's block (my variant for writer's block) and that is why I couldn't come up with any new poems. However, I believe that some events or incidents really inspire a person to express. Similarly, a great movie named The Pursuit of Happyness persuaded me to pen few words about the life of a common man, as it was brilliantly depicted by Will Smith. 

A common man always struggle not for himself but, for the people he values the most. A common man is a father who has to feed. A common man is an husband who has to take care. A common man is an employee who has to make both ends meet. And, a common man is a loner because he leaves people and they leave him. In the end, a common man is a hero who lives for others and dies for himself. 

P.S. Being a common man, I salute all real life heroes.

Confessions of a Wanderer

In this darkness i am,

Alone and it's cold,

Even my Shadow is gone,

And there's no hand for me to hold...

The path is long,

With many ups and downs,

And i hide all sorrows,

Behind the mask of a clown...

The Sun is shining bright,

But all i see is the Dark,

It's not the absence of light,

But something happened to my heart...

No-one gives me love,

So i seek it in hate,

This is how life treats me,

I don't curse my fate!

Thick haze surrounds me,

That's why my vision isn't getting clearer,

I wish to be with those people,

Who are to me Dearer...

I will keep following my dreams,

Until i am done,

Because i read it somewhere,

"IF YOU WANT TO SHINE, FIRST YOU

NEED TO BURN LIKE A SUN!!!"
