The Cry Of The Youth - Will We Ever Touch The Sky?



Slowly,
We have outgrown from our fairy-tale lands,
And today, we stand on the cross roads of our lives...
Trying to digest the fact, that the real world is not as beautiful
As the ones we were once told about.

We have now been exposed to a world filled with choices...
So many unknown paths have been opened in front of us,
So many things we wish to try out...
But,
We are bonded and restricted,
Because of our confused minds and hearts...

So many dreams we want to fulfill,
But,
When shared-
We are called silly.
Parents on one side, peers on the other,
An unbalanced support we get,
And in the end,
It all leads us to nowhere...
And,
Once again we are back to the crossroads,
Confused which path to choose.

So many thoughts, just waiting to come out,
So many questions are filled in our minds...
But,
In this busy life which we have been imposed with,
We are forced to swallow back our dreams
And follow a path which we are told to take!

We all want to spread out our wings,
And fly...
Fly higher and higher and live the life we once dreamed about.

But,
How do we fly when are wings are always cut,
When we have the hopes of touching the sky
And living the life of our dreams...!

WE HAVE TALENT.
HE HAVE COURAGE.
WE HAVE DREAMS...
ALL WE NEED IS A CHANCE,
A MOMENT,
TO PROVE THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE!

We are the youth of today,
The future of tomorrow,
Just
Let us live and touch the sky
-This is our cry!!

    to,
    my dear lonely dreamer,
    the pretty kiddos lane,
    the real world,
    earth,

    that was awesome. so true that it kind of hit somewhere. and is it just me or did you write this yesterday when i was partying?! :P

    yours mockingly
    ...


    dont mind the letter. it was just meant to make this comment as extraordinary(in a lame way) in order to compete with the fantasticness of the poem.

    ps: the world is a dream. it just isnt always what we dreamed it to be. :)

    It reminds me of two songs, at once.

    Youth of the nation


    and


    Young, by Hollywood Undead


    We are young
    We are far
    Born in this world as it all falls apart
    We are strong
    We don't belong
    Born in this world as it all falls apart

    -This is our cry!!"

    Juhi,

    The turmoil of youngster's mind brought out so well. This one is a MUST READ for all parents and teachers. We need to let youngsters work to fulfil their dreams unless it is too risky for their life.

    Take care

    जब विचारों में आपसी टकराव होता है तो कन्फ्यूजन पैदा होता है
    जब युद्द के मैदान में अर्जुन जैसे धनुर्धर को पेनिक अटेक आ सकता है और वो युद्द छोड़ने की सोच सकता है तो हम तो आज के साधारण लोग हैं
    टेलेंट , साहस , सपनों के आलावा एक जरूरी चीज है वो है जीवन का ज्ञान , गाइडेंस ....पुराने ग्रंथों से मिल सकता है ...मानव का मस्तिष्क इतना क्षमतावान है की वो हर मुसीबत से जीत सकता है

    शुभकामनाएं

    एक बात और ....
    ऐसी कोई उम्र नहीं है जब इंसान दुखी ना होता हो [युवावस्था हो या वृद्ध अवस्था ]
    और ऐसी कोई उम्र नहीं जब वो प्रसन्न न रह सकता हो [युवावस्था हो या वृद्ध अवस्था ]

picture from:  here They say that we suddenly grow up at a point, without realizing.  We suddenly stop doing what we always have been doing and we take a break to think. And then we change the gears and let go of all the stupidity.  We may not like it in the beginning, but this break is required. We need to sort ourselves out, and I think that this is what I’ve been trying to do from the past few weeks. I’ve heard that college changes people. Tomboyish girls start to wear make up, and the nerds start to bunk classes, while the desperate ones are all over each other. No hard feelings, but this is what happens. I’ve been thinking about which category I lie in. And honestly, I’m clueless. While people around me are too busy attending some party or the other, or while uploading pictures on  social networking sites, I’ve been so lost because none of these things seem appealing to me any longer. I don’t find the need of going to the washroom eve...

"Trust me. There's no way that I can sing in front of you." "Well, I don't care. You just have to!" I thrust the guitar into his hands and sit down in front of him. "You won't ever give up now, will you?" He sighs as he strikes a chord. "We got this afternoon You've got this room for two.." His eyes are shut, his voice mesmerizing. Soft..calm..just beautiful. His fingers gently move, the rhythm comes to him so naturally. I just sit and listen. And that's all I want to do. "You were wonderful." I say, once he stops. He laughs. "Your body is my wonderland." He kisses my shoulders gently. "You should really try for the competition, you know. You'll get through." "You don't get it Lucy. I can't sing in front of people." He snaps. "Just close your eyes and think that you're singing to me. Do it for me. Please.." I look into his eyes and hold on to his gaze. "Th...

Unfaithful

“I don’t wanna hurt him anymore, I don’t wanna take away his life... I don’t wanna be a murderer.” I lie on the crumpled bed sheet, alone. Naked. I close my eyes, tighten my fist, and try to stop the guilt from growing, from eating me up. It wasn’t the first time. I should have been accustomed to all of this by now, but no I’m not. I don’t think I ever will…yet I continue to do so, and yet I lie in his arms, and crave for him when he’s not around. The pictures appear in my mind. Flash backs. They always do after he leaves. And I always try to shut them from my mind. But it’s next to impossible. No, I don’t love him. I already have a lover, and he? He already has a family. It’s just the craving, the desperation, and the intense longing of being loved. He caresses me, he’s firm, strong, and I easily melt inside him. When he’s besides me, he is all I see. I don’t think about anything else. The world just seems beautiful when we lie next to each other, exhausted. And then, he leaves...
