Meera Mere

Everyday

Every day I chase voices in my head,

Every day I learn how love should be,

And forget why it starts with me

Every day I validate myself pretending to be free.

Every day I spend my days high bluffing not to recall.

 

Every day I escape after vowing to live a little

But promises are made to be broken

Trust to be shattered, love to be forgotten.

And the poetry to be immortal.

 

Every day I forget life is a turbulent roller coaster

That I expected to be a tranquil one

But every day I tune in for there is no choice

Every day I smile for it is bridge to eschew gratuitous noise

 

There are days I wish to be deaf but then I listen to the singing birds

There are days I witness fading love, but I accredit books

Every day I regret escaping, then I love it for dreams are the ungratified fantasy

That I wished to live at least once before I fade.
