Stop!

Stop pushing yourself to the extent that you couldn't work

Stop pushing yourself to love some unknown jerk.

This world judges you on cast

And overtakes your speed too fast.

That what makes my mind think,

I perhaps won't last.

Schools have division of best sections

With children whom they call their collection.


I was seven when I was taught to compete,

Other wise i won't be able to beat

And someone else might take that seat.

Yes I did.

I got amongst the best sections.

I was seventeen when they told me to bring ninety eight

But who knew it was completely on fate

And on the result date

I went to depression straight.

I managed to get ninety six

And it were my parents who got me fixed.

Running and running competing beating screaming developing forbidding gathering wondering and these things revolving and revolving and revolving


Shhhhh! Stop.

Did we forget breathing?

I got in the best college

Which gave only money knowledge.

That this world will acknowledge.

From

Hey how are you

To

Let's make fun she seems new

This world again proved a cruel place.

Our daughter is twenty five

Let's get her married or her looks won't survive.


When was the last time you stopped for two minutes and had a look in the mirror even if you weren't going out?

Hehh.. You don't remember neither do I.

For we don't check but the time flies.

Stop running behind time

Stop saying i want it that it's mine.

Go check your reflection for it says i need you.


Stop finding people for your soul doesn't need someone new.

Time flies

You need to fly higher.

Stop running for something just for the world's sake.

Give yourself a long break.

Walk don't run

Breathe don't pant.

Learn don't compete

And live don't drag life.
