It Seems Unreal...

Trying to maintain a balance between mental health and physical health, seems unreal.

Standing in the crowded train, swaying with the wind, seems unreal.

Crossing streets during the traffic signal, life seems unreal.

Travelling at night with the deep fear of getting lost with the music, seems unreal

Becoming common in the public, seems unreal.

Getting lost in the crowd of chaos and routine seems unreal.

Is it the fate bestowing or just the 'now' happening?

The biggest fear of loosing the self happens at the most tender moments of life.

Just when you think this is all you ever wanted, life seems unreal;

The subconscious feeling of getting detached in the presence of people seems unreal.

Life seems unreal without a place in the world

The illusion of a place in the world, too seems unreal

The only brave thing is to keep hope in the misty fog of life;

Just like a balloon left free in the open sky 

To burst or to fly is the confusion

But getting lost is constant.

Just like a kite tied to it's string,

Soars up high in the sky,

Being controlled by the string or the wind is the confusion,

But getting cut is constant.

It seems all unreal at the highest

It seems all unreal at the lowest

Wondering whether to flow or bluntly wait for the burst,

Life somehow manages to move forward

Just like a missile set to destruct.

All that one demands is a small epiphany of joy;

In this hopelessly enthusiastic world,

 A moment to make you feel the breeze without the metaphors!

Let the mind and the soul sync in peace.

Let the world be quiet to help the inner voice attain it's silence

And the insecurities just let go.

A calming presence to tell you the reality

When again this all will seem too unreal...
