Quite Unlike You

 

Unlike you..

I give away..

Comforts of..

My cozy home..

I keep aside..

Those feelings..

And choose to..

Just wander and roam

 

Unlike you..

Who meet them all..

Every now and every then..

It’s me..

Who sometimes lives..

For weeks..

Not hearing..

Voice of my..

Loved ones

 

Unlike you..

Who see..

Your kids grow.

In front of you..

I often miss..

Their birthdays too..

Sometimes not there..

Even when..

They are born here

 

Unlike you..

Who are lucky enough..

To have your parents..

By your side..

It so happens..

With me at times..

That I miss to..

Be with them..

Even in their..

Last time

 

Unlike you..

I give away..

Going back home..

After work..

Just that I happily make....

My workplace itself.

My second home

 

I give away my heart..

I give away my soul..

I give away my life..

I give away..

All this..

And much more

 

Unlike you..

My dear friend..

I’m neither sane..

Nor normal..

I’m but..

A little insane..

And a lot more..

Abnormal

 

I wear my heart..

On my sleeves..

I carry steel..

In my spine..

With carefree smile..

On my lips..

I keep calculating..

The very next move..

In my mind

 

You guessed it right..

You smiled with pride..

And just now..

You said it too..

Yes indeed I am..

That guy from army..

That man in uniform..

A soldier literally..

Your fauji bhai too..

But still quite..

Unlike you
