sometimes i want to fly....far far away from them all
doubting thomases and peeping toms
snooty susies and cheap floozies
comments and opinions galore
politics and perspectives
attitudes and agendas
lilacs and magentas
bitch sessions. cat fights
and a whole lot of puppy love
cheap thrills. expensive tastes.
carbon emissions and plastic wastes.
what nexts and why mes
i-told-u-sos and let-me-bes
future planning, living in the present
getting in touch with the past
fashions that come and go
things that are built to last
tantrums, arguments and jealousy
joy, happiness and ecstasy
frustrations. disgust.
hunger and a lil bit of thirst
love and war
war and peace
peace and solitude
solitude and bliss
mourning and celebration
thumbs down. standing ovation.
wants, needs, cravings
the haves. the have-nots
and the we-dont-cares
sometimes i want to fly away from them all....
but i am a part of them. they are a part of me.

nice one neelam! it's more or less everyone's inner circle.There is no escape, anywhere. And i guess, even if we had wings, the flight to the faraway would be the last thing on anyone's agenda. Don't knw abt u, but sometimes i feel i would be better off being an outcast,a pariah...:)
awesome!! totally love it!! this feeling is so true!
@nawaid : thanks :) i guess if u were a pariah..u would long for the inner circle...the grass always is greener on the other side isnt it..no matter how old and beaten the cliche gets :))
@shiv: thankoo.... :D
niiice! absurdity fills. to the brim. all days and nights and moments. nice piece, this, but for the last line "but i am a part of them. they are a part of me" which, hmm... when I read these lines, this one felt out of place. no idea why...
@muthu : strange that you mention it...cos even when i read the post after publishing it, the last line felt a little weird to me too...but left it in there anyways...
