Life Sucks

By Shreya Shirol

Though we are children

You treat us like adults

Acting isn’t our part

Because we always get stuck.

Oh! I can’t get it right

Is it my fantasy?

Or is everything alright?

The actions which we have miserably done

The way we gratify the thoughts that we get

And even manage to handle the worst lying on our bed.

Opening my eyes

Is like sinking in the ocean

Where neither the shark can swallow me

Nor let me die.

In the pool of hormones

I stand by you

To chase a new world

Ignoring whatever I go through

Like a bird could I fly

In this heavenly sky

Breaking the vibe

And chasing something alive.
