ON YOUR MARKS

                        When you opened this page, what did you think you’d see?

Bright lights shining over your head or what you dream to be.

Since the title suggests you to get ready..

Well you are in for a ride,

Brace yourself for something that has been a nightmare,

A demon in your life.

We all looked the same way, but no one had a clear vision.

Especially when society judges you on the basis of some superstition

We are getting degraded and lost and our mind loses control.

One more rope tied to the neck, one more body with no soul

We are always told to compete, enough to embrace hate,

Well life is wreckage but who are we to debate, 

Sitting at the back of the benches, memories were made.

Standing with friends outside your class, all the games that you played

There was this love in your life that we are all ashamed it existed.

But unlucky are those people who stuck their eyes somewhere else and just missed it. 

There is a writer in you; an artist who drew; a singer who sung; an actor who loved.

There are things that you always wanted to be 

Because every time I think about all my chances I let go

A sad image of me in the mirror is all I see

I don’t want to be filled with regret. I want to be filled with harmony.

Because we have been in this race for way too long.

We have been scared way too much. 

We have lost our pride, lost our sight

Lost our will and our way to love.

Because a single set of numbers cannot determine what you will be

There are always things that you need to do 

In the perfect time, you all will see. 

Let’s just be victims, embrace ourselves to the stars 

‘Cause shining is what we are made for; let’s take it all too far.

We have been hurt way too much, let’s expose our scars.

Because nothing is based on our marks.
