The morning's clear,
And my mind is trying to figure out where I am,
Stains of tears and late night fear,
has been there on my cheeks all night.
I look at my phone,
To check no one giving a damn,
I turn my head and tell myself that maybe it's good to be alone;
But then the heart realized the lies I just said.
I shake my head while I throw my covers aside,
I sit up on the edge,
Thinking, "why it has to be this way?"
Again, as I glide,
My foot on the floor, I think of how different things can be outside the cage.
I make my way to the bathroom,
I look at my stained face,
Adoring how puffy my eyes look because of crying.
It's just me, "another girl without grace"
Secretly hoping for the bus to break down,
As I get ready for my college.
I check myself one last time before leaving my room,
And realize that I look no less than a clown!
I go downstairs, waiting for the bus,
The "honk-honk" kills all the hope,
And I make my way to the bus,
Wishing to get my favorite window seat.
But alas! How come I be so lucky?
It's been occupied again.
I sit quietly next to a girl,
Shoving in my earphones, putting a song on loop,
I close my eyes and keep it shut till we reach the college.
When I walk towards my building,
I hope not to see people grinning.
I keep my bag pack on the table
And wait for others to enter.
The classes start one by one in a manner,
I wait for a break desperately to have some fun but in the end
Who am I fooling?
I hate everyone hence I am the only one who is a loner.
I stand on the balcony and look at all the happy faces,
I come back to the class,
Wait for it to end,
And finally it's all over.
On my way back to home,
I think of all the things I've done,
And secretly miss having pals,
As I close my eyes till I reach home.
The day is done.
And have survived it again.
The thoughts start crawling as the night grows older;
I know that heavy eyes had enough 'cause even the heart is colder!
It's like a depressing movie tape,
That's been stopped, rewind and played since ages,
Doesn't spectators know,
It won't make it any better?

All great writers owe their achievements to their own life experiences. So, you have to say your life is useful in some way..
