IT's life

Stepping out of college
You enter a whole new world
Here, even if you don't want,
Responsibilities are hurled

You feel I should finish
The work given to me NOW
You stay late for a day
It ends up being a habit somehow

People take you for granted
This guy works late always
Little does the guy know
Gone are his early going days

The guy plans a movie
And wants to go soon
He thinks his long working
Will now be a boon

But, wait ! People see him going late
Assume he will go late again
Plan a meeting without asking him,
Long working became a bane !

How can he say , he can't
When he did stay late before
The thing which he had planned
Remained behind the door.

He rose the expectations himself
No one but he, is at fault
His plans got affected
Got more work in his vault

Just relax fellows
Don't try to impress
Just meet deadlines
Rest's the same, more or less

Finish off your job
And scurry home
Take a friend to eat
Find a place to roam

Just a simple change in the mindset
Is the hour's need
It's upto you to choose
Freedom or the impression greed

Alone

Pity me, for I am sad
Understand me. Don't get mad

Leaving the comfort zone
Is not my cup of tea
Considering myself as alone,
a crying version, you'll always see

Change ? Nopes. Can't handle it
But, also get bored of routine bit by bit

So, what do I want ?
Umm. I want to go home
Never go out of the room
Never ever roam

New people ? Xenophobia. I need more aid
Don't try to mix, else I 'll fade
Of nothing but sloppy emotions I am made
Time to cry again, for goodbye I've bade

If this wasn't enough, I dissuade others too
When they should roar, I make them moo

I misplace my emotional outburst
And end up in a row
Thinking that reverting would clean the dust
I go to the person and bow

Still the person did not budge
Then against him , others I will nudge
This is the way of showing my grudge
I fudge the act of being soft like a fudge

My heart cries, but no one to hear
Oh, come on !! Who will ? No one's here
I don't have any close peer
Didn't I just tell about my fear ?

Forgot to mention
I do have friends few
Don't catch up even with those
So, surely can't have any new ?

Why doesn't my life revolve around people ?
I question and answer myself this doubt
Its coz I think that our friendship will finally cripple
You ARE crazy, I heard you shout

This is what I am
Am alone always
Was n will be alone
Its my ultimate phase

Not living life when the time is mine
Living on cloud 1 when others are on nine
For stupid reasons not to think but whine
Is what my life is in one line
