Not a bead glistens my eyelashes when I am in intractable trauma,
But can’t stop my surging tears when my hero dies in an onscreen drama;
Am I weird?
I crave and miss my loved one, whom I cannot see,
Is it because he is no longer there for ME?
Am I selfish?
I wish to pull the moon and wrap it around,
I long to get hold of Aladdin’s magic lamp to fulfill my wishes unbound;
Am I immature?
Death scares me, Rejection scoffs at me, Expectations tenses me,
The fear of losing my kith and kin terrifies me;
Am I a coward?
Am I weird, selfish, immature and a coward?
So many negatives huddled in a pod,
Am I a pessimist?

Not Weird, selfish, coward or pessimist,
You are the anti-thesis of them all,
A woman you are, emotional pacifist,
You are the verdure in the fall :)

Ever since I started strumming the guitar (a month back), I wanted to make a song, but couldn't find the lyrics. With minor changes (to fit into the rhythm), this one's perfect.
So may I go ahead with my project?
@handfull of hell: wow!!..beautiful lines!
@roy:
Thanx :)
@akshay:I would be honoured!!:D
brilliant!
Not Weird, selfish, coward or pessimist..u are just plain normal..
although i believe the pessimist shall inherit the world as anyone who is so optimistic,that he feels that his life is great importance is awfully close to a padded cell!
too good and expressive ... best one till now among poems !!!
@confused: thanku!!
@nikhil: true..and sometimes we have phases of optimism and pessimism though not as traits...!
@Sai: Thnxx...but best is yet to come ;)
Great ending Aneesha. You simply amalgamated those 4 words into one single entity. Beautiful! You should think of compiling all your poems into a book.
wow..great lines..i guess this is how lot of ppl are...:)
The answer to all these questions is simple...
YOU ARE HUMAN!
:-)
