Live And Not Survive

 Stopping and staring at things as it passes by

Wondering if it was always there or has come alive

Oh! It’s my birthday and am turning twenty five!

What was I doing till now? Was I sleeping tight?

Am awake to a great big morning

Time is running without giving warnings

What I can do?

What I wana do

Is just stocking up the pile.

I wana live and not survive

Wana breathe the air and come alive

Don’t wana stress anymore

And no regrets anymore

I wana live before I die

I feel like turning the time back to when I was nine

Or to a point when I last felt that all was fine

If I could only reach it all at the same time

Magic or witchcraft, science or myth all works just fine

Oh! I can’t  go against the nature

Messing with the time into the future

Wana have a past

Strong enough to last

Present is running without a sign

I wana live and not survive

Wana breathe the air and come alive

Don’t wana stress anymore

And no regrets anymore

I wana live before I die

Choices are always hard to make

But the rest of my life is at stake

Life is made up of a big ‘What If’

All will just change with the chances I take

Turning back is not an option

Settling down is not the answer

Can never be a part of the crowd

Coz am the childlike sole survivor

Graduating with rest of my life

Without a rule book it feels like a strife

Wana make the way

Living everyday

Smiling seeing the sun that shines

I wana live and not survive

Wana breathe the air and come alive

Don’t wana stress anymore

And no regrets anymore

I wana live before I die
