Can I Have Off Today?
Hey Life! It’s me..! Shall I introduce myself to you?
I guess I don’t need to do so…
Life! Who else can know me better than you?
I’m the one always being your puppet to play…
I’m the one in which, being a pain you stay!
Life! You broke my heart several times…
I was blank, had no crimes!
Did I blame you?
Life! You have taken away the hope from me,
Hope to live and to flee!
Did I blame you?
Life! You gave me stones when I asked for Peace…
Throughout that pain you left no ease!
Did I blame you?
Life! You have treated me as I don’t get hurt,
You left me in dark and dirt!
Did I blame you?
Life! I’m not asking for a permanent relief,
Coz you’ll not give me as I believe!
But Life! I need an off to be hard again,
Hard enough to bear the sufferings you let me go through
And to bear all the pain.
Dear Life,
Can I have off Today?
