"Chain choking"

I choked, gasped for air, waiting to die
But it won't come that easy, sometimes even life tells a lie
Amidst the fuzzy blindness, I thought this was it
I called for help, "Let me go", sinking into the thickness bit by bit..

Inching my way through the lights, I looked for a sign,a way
Pushing and punching, "Move away" I said, no mercy for these beings today
But the music blinded the blind, noise and revelry blocked every turn
On the run against the army of chimney heads, my stomach began to churn.

There must be a rule, or simple decency as it's known to me
Not to blow your insides on my face, and pretend like you don't see
I dashed to the exit, my last resort to escape,a lunatic's release
Held myself together, just in time, before I forgot how to breathe.

Finally out of the watering hole, where my precious lungs were on display
I coughed out fumes, of anger and habits alike, determined to have my say;
"Smoke if you will, honestly I don't care, it's really your wish
As long as my life, mere as it maybe, isn't puffed away as your side-dish!"

"Talk to me"

You catch me by surprise
No blinking eyelids
No emotional ties.
Yet I like what I hear
It's like me whispering
In my own ear.

The subtle comfort of knowing
You are proud
You are growing.
Yet you call out to me
And pull the suspense out
Of the very mystery.

Fate forced it's entry
Blinding you
Blinding me.
Yet there is a perspective
Like I am a student to
A teacher still learning to live.

The resemblance is uncanny
Sound of a broken heart
Sound of a bended knee.
Yet your parcel of hopes new
Makes me wonder if it doesn't hurt
As much as it's meant to.

You are not more than friend
No names unreal
No games to end.
Yet on our imaginary walk
It feels like you and I met
Just so we could talk...

"Playing on loop"

I listen to the radio
And hear the words again
It feels like a movie soundtrack
Fictional, perfect and sane.

The music plays on
It's just another day
And it will pass
In the same old way

As time goes by
The song repeats,lost & found
It feels like a giant wheel ride
Which goes round and round.

The sun fades away
It's just another day
And it will pass
In the same old way

I think to myself
The same thoughts I did yesterday
And they touch my chords
In a warm yet familiar way.

The mind goes to bed
It's just another day
And it will pass
In the same old way.
