for my only child

Jab bhi koi tumhara haal poochta hai Jo tumhe kabhi mila tha, chhua tha Jisko tumse bhi pyaar hua tha Toh aankhon ki tankiyon ke nal khud hee khul jaate hai Aur doobne lagti hoon main Kya kabhi koi samjhega Tumhe khone ka dard kitna gehra hai

overgrown man-child

the worst of man and child once upon a time in a forest on Mars a bear rampaged the land, the trees, and the cars every monkey, donkey, bee, or bird that went close to him, was sure to get hurt his claws were sharp, the bear was strong nothing got him peace, neither food nor song once upon a time in the same forest on Mars the bear fell asleep under the stars (it was day so they weren't visible!) the ants trickled over, hundreds, and more climbed his legs, tummy, entered his nose they were curious to search, wanted to see what was it that made the bear so angry till a shout came from the feet "it's this thorn here, i bet! you must see" in an attempt to bring peace to their land peace to the land and this man "dum laga ke haisha" they began to shout and pop, the thorn came out! now he'll be happy, and we'll be happy too we'll all get a chance, to start anew a loud yawn from the corner, as he opened his eyes the bear was groggy, shocked, and surpri...
If you were a movie,  I'd be the funny best friend You don't fall in love with And every character here knows, the audience can see We don't belong, you don't belong with me.

hair

every once in a while i will find a long hair hidden between the sheets, tangled on a sweater i will hold it from end to end and ask - what does it mean to grow up? i care better, but my skin is dry it means learning that sometimes the only act of kindness by some people is letting me go grown up, shown up, groan - who cares? you celebrate me and i don't care i leave after i find the hair you can't force me to celebrate  i can't, i don't want it i want to sleep but grown ups say to brush before and growing up hurts.
