I appreciate good works
I participate in penning down rosy words
I celebrate a passionate poet’s infectious thoughts
I bow down to His Revered Words
I necessitate my being in an invisible chain
It’s merely because I’m chasing false gains
I hesitate in accepting enlightenment
I am infatuated with bright lights and heavy garment
I exaggerate the meaning of being in vain, I erase my deeds with mindless chattering
Not stopping to think about the fact that my soul is taking all the battering
I expiate for the sins that I’ve done
I forget and don’t put a brake when the next day has come
I need to rehabilitate my soul
I need to communicate and not be a renegade
I need to exterminate the devil
And mock at my own revels
I need to salvage my wrecked faith
Sincere tears to keep it straight
Wicked years to compensate
I need to let go of my mental state
And put and end to my mistakes
I indulge myself in recklessness
While I anticipate for a future with no harsh happenings
I become disloyal to The One
And I expect for all good things to come
Hate the word ‘Hypocrisy’
Yet am a victim
Hate the word ‘Envy’
Yet am a victim
Hate the word ‘Ego’
Yet am a willing victim
4 golden words
Beg to hold it close to the heart
Will try to act upon it until death does me apart
