The Tree....

I watched it.............
Everyday and night..........
Beside my house it stood,
Adding colours to my life............
My best buddy,
for the life time..........
Thats what I said
to everyone.............
But now......................
Its no more.....................
I couldn't see it...............
It was destroyed.............
I was heart broken............
I could'nt do anything..................
It has gone.............
Without even telling me a word..................

Tolerance!!!!!

I was walking through the corridor,
when a group of boys frowned at me
Neither I knew what they meant nor
did they tell me.........

It was astonishing,
that I never talked to them
Although they were like the
flashing gems of our school.......

It was like a routine for them,
to stand in the corridor
and make comments out of girls,
who walked through the way......

This was annoying,
disturbing and shameful
But it was not surprising,
that to them it was joyful........

But the reason for the frown,
was still not clear
But I was made a clown,
which was very clear......

This was followed,
every now and then
And I felt disturbed,
which would get ten on ten......

My limits were crossed,
and it was all I could tolerate
I walked past them,
crossing my fingers......

I wanted to ask them,
what was that we did
To make us disturbed,
in all the way they could......

But I didn't...
and that was my mistake.....
And so it has become a routine
for them to disturb and us to tolerate!!!!!!

Examination....

Exams have come near,
some tremble with fear.
Some study till night,
some study till it's bright.
Some study with an open mind,
some have something more to find.
Some learn at the point of examinatons,
while others just revise with satisfaction
Some feel very fit,
while others still learn with a lamp lit.
Some feel very sick,
some learn as quick as a tick.
Some try to cheat,
some write very neat.
Some study with all might,
for "KNOWLEDGE IS LIGHT"

My New Best Friend

Today i met a great new friend
who knew me right away
it was funny how she understood
all i had to say

She listened to my problems
she listened to my dreams
we talked about love and life
she'd been ther, too, it seems

I never once felt judged by her
she knew just how i felt
she seemed to just accept me
and all the problems i'd been dealt

She didn't interrupt me
or need to have her say
she just listened very patiently
and didn't go away

I wanted her to understand
how much this meant to me
but as i went to ug her
something startled me

I put my arms in front of me
and went to pull her nearer
and realized that my new best friend
was nothing but a MIRROR!!!
