Its Raining for Her

In tears she swam,
in the pool of tears she swam.
The clouds moving above her head,
vision of rain clouding her eyes,
it rained so much for her,
but only she got wet,
not because she had no umbrella
for she had one right then.
Yet, only she got wet,
in the rain of her own tears,
forming the pool she swam in.

Can a man drown in tears?
Her question was irrelevant,
for she still struggled to swim,
not thinking of drowning.
Even huge waves of oceans
cannot swallow her up,
for she puts up a struggle.

In tears she swam,
in the pool of tears she swam.
The clouds moving above her head,
vision of rain clouding her eyes,
it rained so much for her,
but only she got wet
and she did not mind,
for that liquid lifted her spirits.

Dreams...

'Chase your dream', people say.
Some people take that so seriously that they make so much sacrifices in life to chase their dreams or achieve their goals. Sometimes, in this long and tedious process, they tend to hurt people around, lose some really good friends, and leave out the essence in life. There are moments when they actually sit down and think if it is all going to be worth it. After a little pondering, most of these people just get back in tract to reach their specific destination in time. Finally, after all the goats have been slaughtered and poured sweat has all evaporated, they reach their respective aims. The only problem is, all the happiness they left behind with their friends and families that they termed as sacrifices was not waiting at the end of their journey because when everyone else was heading the same way towards reality, they chose to travel alone in another path chasing their dreams...

We may include anybody and everybody in our dreams, BUT the ULTIMATE TRUTH is: We dream alone...
